Frequently asked questions

Alternative investments are investments in assets that are not traditional stocks or bonds. They can be purchased in the private markets—examples include private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure—or they are publicly traded, frequently in the form of hedged strategies, commodities, or digital assets.

Investors often include alternatives in their portfolios to diversify from the classic “60/40” split of equities and fixed income. The addition of alternatives to an investment portfolio may help improve growth, potential income, and diversification. In some cases, investors will capture the illiquidity premium (the potential for higher returns in exchange for committing to a longer investment period) of private markets assets such as real estate or private equity.

Invesco has been investing in alternatives for more than 40 years and currently has $180 billion of AUM in alternatives, making us an experienced and qualified provider. We offer investors access to alternatives across public and private markets, in fund structures that can meet investors’ varying needs.

Alternative investments differ from traditional investments in several key ways. Eligibility requirements often restrict access, with many private market alternatives available only to investors meeting specific income, net‑worth, or licensing thresholds. They are frequently more complex in structure, making the evaluation of risks, fees, and strategies more challenging. Liquidity is also a major differentiator, as many alternative investments involve multi‑year lock‑up periods, whereas liquid alternatives can be bought or sold more readily. Historically these characteristics may introduce higher risk and higher or less predictable fees compared with traditional assets.

    Investment risks

    The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

    Alternative investment products may involve a higher degree of risk, may engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices  that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual portfolios, often charge higher fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. There is often no secondary market for private equity interests, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in such investments.
