Investors who build diversified, multi-asset portfolios, have an ever increasing range of investment assets at their disposal. In order to invest effectively – and build a solid, performing portfolio – it is essential for investors to understand each of these single asset classes and how to use them in portfolios. <i>The Investment Assets Handbook</i> covers the full spectrum of different asset classes and investment types available today, providing investors with the definitive information they need to reach an understanding of the broad range of investment assets.
The Handbook is divided into four parts:
1. An introduction to asset classes, including how they should be defined, the main features that can be used to characterise asset classes and the roles that different assets fulfil within a multi-asset portfolio.
2. Traditional assets, including global equities, fixed income and cash.
3. Alternative assets, including real estate, commodities, private equity and hedge funds.
4. New alternative investments, including currency, infrastructure, structured finance, leveraged loans, structured products, alternative or smart betas, volatility, art, insurance-linked securities and timber.
Each asset chapter within these sections provides a description of the asset and its characteristics, its historic performance, how to model its future long-term performance, the role it performs in a multi-asset portfolio, its risks, how to access it, and other relevant topics. Long-term investment themes that may impact the future behaviour of assets and investing generally are also highlighted and discussed.
<i>The Investment Assets Handbook</i> is the essential guide that investors need as they navigate the universe of investment assets and build multi-asset portfolios.
