AAA Claims New Survey Supports Alternative Investment Growth
Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has reported on a survey indicating increased investment in alternative asset classes.Boston, MA, September 16, 2011 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has reported on a survey indicating increased investment in alternative asset classes.
AAA claims this is the latest indicator that fund managers are increasing their client portfolios’ exposure to alternatives. The survey, carried out by Jefferson National Life Insurance Co., found that 68 per cent of the 500 advisers questioned on the subject said they have increased their investment in alternatives. Some 22 per cent claims that the increase has been ‘significant’ over the past five years.
In addition, some 66 per cent of those questioned said they expected investments in alternatives to eventually become more important than investment in traditional asset classes.
“This really is great news for the alternative investment industry,” commented AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. He added, “The news that the majority of the respondents in the survey said they expected alternatives to take over from traditional assets as the focus of many portfolios was particularly positive.”
Jefferson National’s president, Laurence Greenberg, said that the growing focus on alternatives is due to the increased awareness of market volatilities. He stated, “We've seen the Dow and S&P drop more than 10 per cent off this year's peaks, and advisers are preparing for the reality of ongoing volatility.”
He added that alternative investment “provide advantages such as increased diversification, and [advisers] are more confident in the disciplined use of tactical asset management rather than relying only on traditional buy-and-hold.”
AAA, which advocates investment in alternative asset classes, from forestry – through firms like Greenwood Management, which manages sustainable plantations in Brazil – to gold, real estate and even art and antiques. AAA is particularly keen to promote the advantages to both investors and communities in developing countries, of impact investing, which seems to be growing in popularity, alongside other alternative asset classes.
Mr Johnson concluded, “We support the findings from the Jefferson National survey as being a valid representation of the investment market as it stands."
