FAQs

Are alternative investments liquid?

Usually not in the same way as public stocks or ETFs. Many alternatives have quarterly redemption windows, secondary market limits, or multi-year lockups.

What are the main risks?

Key risks include illiquidity, valuation opacity, leverage, manager execution risk, concentration, and tax complexity. The category matters, but structure and manager quality matter just as much.
