Not only are they more popular among individual\ninve stors\, but there are also more products available\, making\ninvesting in alternatives possible for a much broader universe of\ninvestors.\n\nGiven their non-traditional approach and their ability to invest in\nareas and w ays traditional investments cannot\, they have the potential\nto improve t he overall risk-return characteristics of a portfolio. As\nsuch\, a modest allocation to alternatives may be prudent for more\ninvestors than previo usly was the case.
