Elevated equity evaluations, low yields, and the expectation of higher volatility as we head into 2018 make alternative investments an attractive option for investors. However, a number of issues need to be discussed before a foundation considers adding alternative investments to its portfolio. In this session, we will examine a variety of alternative investments (i.e. private equity, hedge funds, social impact bonds, and more) and we will talk about key considerations for each.
