Financial Clarity for Doctors

Do You Need Alternatives in Your Portfolio?


Listen Later

Some investments are flashier or more exciting than others.  But do you really need flashy and exciting to meet your financial goals?  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff talk about alternative investment strategies and whether you may need them as part of your investment strategy.

This episode covers some basics of alternative investments including:

  • Advantages and disadvantages of these kinds of tools.
    • Advantages include diversification and potentially higher returns.
    • Disadvantages include potential for greater losses, higher costs, lack of liquidity, and less regulation than more traditional investments.
    • Different types of alternative investments (hedge funds, structured notes, private equity, etc.)
    • How to evaluate whether these may be an appropriate addition to your plan.
    • As always, whether a particular strategy makes sense for you depends on your financial status, goals, and even personality.  Most folks will not need complicated alternative investments to meet their goals, but it can be something to consider for folks who are willing to take on more risks and costs to explore something a little different (and potentially exciting if you are successful).

      For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, you can reach out to them at [email protected]. They would love to hear your questions and ideas for upcoming episodes.
