Q&A with Kristina Hooper 
Within the alternatives space, what are your thoughts on real estate? 

Answer (footage of Kristina)
What's really interesting about real estate is that a lot of it is not cyclical. I think many investors don’t necessarily realize that at first blush. It can include student housing, it can include medical buildings, self-storage, a whole variety of areas that are not tied to the economic cycle. So, for me, what we're hearing and seeing right now is, is there's a lot of interest in real estate for the income it generates, and I think that makes sense. 

Question (words show on screen): 
Are there any other alternative asset classes you’re watching closely?

Answer (footage of Kristina) 
Another area of opportunity is floating rate loans. Of course, they can benefit from a rising rate environment. And because economies like the US have been quite resilient, credit quality is good. So, this is a very attractive area and one that can offer diversification benefits for those with a core fixed income portfolio.
