As the investment climate remains uncertain, an increasing number of investment firms and financial advisors are looking at adding some form of alternative investments to investment portfolios. For financial advisors, in particular, liquid alternative mutual funds offer a way to do this. Mutual funds offer transparency and improved access to the benefits that nontraditional strategies can provide.
Advisors may access resources on alternative funds and their use with client portfolios at wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com/alts.
