FAQs

How should I evaluate fees?

Look for management fees, servicing fees, performance fees, deal-level expenses, and exit-related economics. The right benchmark is net return after all fees, not headline yield alone.

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.

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.
