For decades, affluent investors invested in alternative investment options like private equity, real estate and unconventional options like art. However, times are changing as more average investors are starting to invest in these asset classes.
One of the biggest reasons behind this shift is that people are living longer, with average life expectancies fluctuating around 80 years old. This figure will only increase over time, meaning that people can take more risk for higher returns. Alternative investments are also becoming more popular due to geopolitical instability and record high inflation.
