I'm looking for some new ideas for my 'alternative' allocation. Although the term is included in this forum topic, I haven't found much discussion on the subject. Do any other forum members have a significant allocation to alternatives? And if so, what do you recommend?
I currently allocate 15% to alternatives and 10% to real estate investments although there is significant overlap so for simplicity, I assume 25% combined. After some recent sales and with the amazing stock performance this year, the portfolio is now out of balance so looking for some new ideas.
Already have enough rental property (or at least all I care to manage). Also plenty in hard money lending although the Pelorus fund has my attention since that is an interesting niche in that space with fairly high consistent returns of >13%.
I want something with expected returns of 8% to 15% with little correlation to the market and of course acceptable risk. Haven't found a suitable Life Settlements, Music Royalty, or Litigation Finance fund that accepts accredited investors so I guess they are out for now.
Considered farmland and timberland investments but the fees are high and the few REITs available are small and have high market correlation. I gave up on P2P lending when the returns dropped too low. There seems to be no good options for individual investment in Reinsurance.
Until I find something worthwhile, I'm parking that cash in BRMK which is very liquid and currently has 8% dividend. But maybe someone here has some good 'alternatives'.
