Introduction
The collapse of equity markets between 2000 and 2003 coincided with a renewed interest among investors for investment products that are offered attractive, non-correlated returns, both for portfolio diversification and potential gains. Initially interest centered on hedge funds and private equity, but the next wave of alternative investments is now in the spotlight.
Scope
- Commodities, derivatives, futures and art can each be viewed as an invaluable addition to the alternative product ranges of wealth managers.
- Each of these investments shares the common characteristic of non-correlated returns to typical equity investments.
- However, investment qualities aside, they are arguably equally as valuable as a means for wealth managers to differentiate their services.
Highlights
The Credit Suisse platform provides up-to date information on the performance and features of nearly 2,000 structured products, ranging from those focused on areas such as bonds, alternative investments and mixed asset products.
The introduction of property derivatives should find particular resonance among Investec's client base, which is predominantly made of ""new money"" and sophisticated investors open to the idea of using derivatives in their portfolio.
Datamonitor believes that UBS' art banking services represent the market-leading offering among global wealth managers. The depth and breadth of the services offered, combined with the company's experience and commitment to the market, gives it its leading position.
