CAIA's Filbeck on 'taking the alternative out of alternatives'
Manage episode 407247089 series 3561101
Aaron Filbeck, managing director at the CAIA Association -- industry association for Chartered Alternative Investment Analysts -- says that the evolution of alternatives over the last few decades has made it to where it's naive for investors to effectively lump the wide range of investment options under the simple label of "alternatives." Filbeck, who oversees UniFi by CAIA -- a platform that educates private wealth managers about alternative investments -- says that sophisticated investors look past the label to dig into the different risks and return profiles of assets that vary from hedge funds to private credit, real estate, commodities, infrastructure and more, but he notes that they also have a long way to go with alternatives which still represent a small percentage of investors' portfolios despite the wide range of assets available.
