Investors turn to alternative assets as markets risk rise

The recent strong correlation between the performance of equities and government bonds is driving investors into alternative assets, according to the guests on this week’s FTAdviser Podcast. Minesh Patel, financial adviser and director of EA Financial Solutions, and Ian Rees, multi-asset fund manager at Premier, have both become more interested in alternative investments in a world where bond yields are low and equity valuations look high. We discuss the different drivers that impact the market in alternative assets, the different way of accessing those assets, and where the opportunities lie.
