Alternative Investments

Alternative Investments

Uhlmann Price Securities, LLC specializes in offering clients added portfolio diversification opportunities through a variety of alternative investments products.

Alternative investments represent an asset class, or skill-based strategy, that has the potential to provide returns that are not correlated to traditional stock and bond returns or economic cycles. The advantage of non-correlated investments is that when added to a traditional portfolio they potentially can increase overall portfolio returns while reducing risk. Such investments are generally managed by investment professionals who specialize in a specific sector or style. Examples include asset classes such as commodities and real estate, or skill-based money management found in managed futures, business development companies (BDCs), and hedge funds.

Managed Futures and Commodities

Many investors seek to diversify and balance their portfolios by investing with professional money managers that utilize the futures markets for a portion of their overall asset allocation. In addition, investor interest in commodities has increased significantly in recent years, driven mainly by increased globalization and the potential for inflation. Investors have the opportunity to achieve the diversification qualities offered by managed futures and or long-only commodities in relatively liquid investment strategies.
