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

Alternatives can be accessed through several Invesco vehicles, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds or, in some cases, separately managed accounts. They can be purchased through personal brokerage accounts, with the help of a financial advisor, or they may be offered as part of a company retirement plan’s investment lineup. 

Alternatives are often managed by the industry’s top investment managers and can provide exposure to unique or esoteric opportunities. This diversifying and uncorrelated nature of alternative funds can make them an attractive investment strategy and a complement to an existing fixed income allocation.
