There's a growing interest in alternative assets from all corners of the investing landscape, including family offices, endowment funds, insurers, financial advisors — and increasingly the super-rich , according to investment manager Juan Delgado-Moreira.
Alternatives have also been an asset class that only institutions, the super-rich and accredited investors can invest in. In the U.S., people need to have an income of at least $200,000 a year to be deemed accredited investors who can invest directly in private credit or private debt. Delgado-Moreira says there are some ways for the average investor to get exposed to alternatives, however. He suggested that investors adopt 60/40 or 70/30 portfolio , but with exposure to private markets.
