Typical allocations range between 6% and 25%. <\/li>\n<li>Alternative investments can overcome the shortcomings of the 60\/40 portfolio, increasing income, reducing downside risk, enhancing diversification and hedging against inflation.<\/li>\n<li>While each investor has unique circumstances, most investors don\u2019t require liquidity in 100% of their portfolio. Evergreen funds, including tender offer funds, provide access to alternative investments with potentially greater liquidity than drawdown funds. Evergreen funds allow for the democratization of alternatives, as they are available to a wider audience than drawdown funds.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button primary register-now\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/investinginalts.com\/en-gb\/?sdm_process_download=1&amp;download_id=1690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Paper<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, investors and advisors have started to rethink portfolio construction.
