Stock, Bond And “Other”: Making Sense Of Alternative Funds
FYI: For most of us, investments fall into two simple categories: stocks or bonds. Some investors are adding an “other” category in their search for possibly safer or better returns. They’re pouring into what the industry calls alternative funds, which are generally bringing hedge-fund-like strategies to the masses. It’s still a niche corner of the market, but nearly $13 billion flowed into alternative funds over the last year, according to Morningstar.
