Alternative investments are an excellent way to diversify your portfolio beyond real estate and stocks, and that's the topic of discussion on this episode of The Real Estate Law Podcast.

Meet Josh Ziegelbaum, Director of Investor Relations at Legacy Group, an alternative asset manager that targets profitable investment opportunities with high social and environmental impact in Latin America.

Josh is responsible for managing investor communications, onboarding, individual accredited investors and commercial clients, as well as overall support of company initiatives.

One of the Legacy Group's premier alternative investment options is The Green Coffee Company, a consolidated coffee farming operation based in Medellin, Colombia. The company’s innovative business model allows complete control of the supply chain: from cultivation, through processing, to direct trade with end-clients.

Since its founding, GCC has grown to become Colombia's second largest coffee producer with 4,010 acres of landholdings, and the most technologically-advanced producer of coffee in Colombia.

What we love about this discussion is that it's a deep dive into alternative investments - who are these right for, how to get involved, what to expect as an investor, and why people consider adding them to their portfolios.

In this episode, we discussed:

- What exactly is an alternative investment?

- Alternative investments outside the U.S. in emerging markets

- Why coffee? Farmland as an alternative investment.

- Why alternative investments are becoming more popular with investors

- The importance of producing a positive environmental and social impact

- What does it mean to be an "accredited investor?"

- The client profile for who typically invests with the Legacy Group

- Background on Legacy Group and The Green Coffee Company

- What types of investment offerings does Legacy Group have for accredited investors?

- What legal questions should you ask before committing capital to an alternative investment?

- What tax benefits are available for investments such as these?

- The value of excellent communication with investors
