Alternative investments can be a strong complement to any portfolio, helping to increase diversification and performance potential, beyond traditional equities and fixed income. Learn about the benefits of alternative investing and explore our latest insights. Nuveen offers a variety of alternative solutions for individual investors through specialized strategies, including real estate, private capital and real assets.
Private market alternatives represent a significant—and relatively untapped—opportunity, much larger than many realize. While most investors’ portfolios are comprised of traditional publicly traded stocks and bonds, private markets differ as they are not traded on public exchanges. They can include direct investments in private company equity and credit, real estate, and real assets such as, infrastructure or farmland. Private markets can work alongside public holdings to offer diverse investment opportunities that help take your portfolio further.
Nuveen offers tools to help navigate these markets through the Private Markets Institute, a multi-faceted educational program, designed to enhance understanding of alternative investments, why they’re important in today’s market and how to include them in portfolio construction.
Private market assets can help manage portfolio volatility, enhance portfolio return and income potential, increase portfolio diversification and provide a hedge against specific economic risks like interest rate changes or inflation. These differentiated characteristics help to build more resilient portfolios for the long term.
