<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>We are entering a golden age of alternative investments. <p/><br> Alternative asset classes including private equity, hedge funds, catastrophe reinsurance, real assets, non-traditional credit, alternative risk premia, digital assets, collectibles, and other novel assets are now available to investors and their advisors in a way that they never have been before. <p/> The pursuit of diversification is not as straightforward as it once was -- and the classic 60/40 portfolio may no longer be sufficient in helping investors achieve their most important financial goals. With the ever-present need for sustainable income and risk management, alternative assets are poised to play a more prominent role in investor portfolios. <p/> Phil Huber is the Chief Investment Officer for a multi-billion dollar wealth management firm and acts as your guide on a journey through the past, present, and future of alternative investments. In this groundbreaking tour de force, he provides detailed coverage across the spectrum of alternative assets: their risk and return characteristics, methods to gain exposure, and how to fit everything into a balanced portfolio. <p/> The three parts of <i>The Allocator's Edge</i> address: <p/> 1. Why the future may present challenges for traditional portfolios; why the adoption of alternatives has remained elusive for many allocators; and why the case for alternatives is more compelling than ever thanks to financial evolution and innovation. <p/> 2. A comprehensive survey of the asset classes and strategies that comprise the vast universe of alternative investments. <p/> 3. How to build durable and resilient portfolios that harness alternative assets; and how to sharpen the client communication skills needed to establish proper expectations and make the unfamiliar familiar. <p/> <i>The Allocator's Edge</i> is written with the practitioner in mind, providing financial advisors, institutional allocators, and other professional investors the confidence and courage needed to effectively understand, implement, and translate alternatives for their clients. <p/> Alternative investments are the allocator's edge for the portfolios of tomorrow -- and this is the essential guide for advisors and investors looking to seize the opportunity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Allocator's Edge</i> has always been about unlocking the power of uncorrelated risk premia.
