Using ground-breaking, never before seen data on alternative investments, Stephen Todd Walker explores how to apply new risk measurements such as Var to an alternative portfolio. Through his years of expertise in finance working for billionaires and institutions, the author amply explains how to go about carefully selecting the best alternatives for you and the right time to invest in them. Features of the book include terrific charts and graphs, a rich history on alternatives and helpful tools to evaluate alternatives and further diversify. Investing has changed and diversifying with alternatives shows a new approach. The book shows the merits of owning alternatives and helps investors who want to create better, more diversified portfolios. |
