Alternative Investing: Why a 50/30/20 Allocation Beats the 60/40 Portfolio
Exploring Alternative Investing Strategies
As stock markets face uncertainty and the U.S. 10 year treasury signals caution, alternative investing is gaining traction. Investors are increasingly reassessing their allocations, transitioning from the traditional 60/40 portfolio to a more balanced approach. The 50/30/20 allocation offers an appealing framework for those looking to diversify their holdings.
Why 50/30/20?
The 50/30/20 allocation divides investments into three key categories. This strategy not only provides exposure to alternatives but also mitigates risks associated with unpredictable market cycles.
- 50% in alternative assets, capitalizing on firms like Carlyle Group Inc. and Blackstone Inc.
- 30% in stocks from stable blue-chip companies
- 20% in fixed-income securities, including bonds and the U.S. 10 year treasury
Assessing Market Dynamics
With institutions such as Apollo Global Management Inc. and Ares Management Corp. leading the charge in private equity, the landscape of investing has shifted. The rise of the Invesco Global Listed Private Equity ETF exemplifies this trend, attracting investors looking to balance their portfolios.
