The Fortrust Alternative Investment Accounts are designed as financial assets that do not fall into one of the conventional investments categories of equity, bonds and cash. These investments may include a wide range of assets such as hedge funds, private equity, commodities, real estate, and infrastructure. These investments typically require a longer investment horizon due to lock-up periods or the nature of the asset class. This product is attractive to institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals because of their complex nature, and the potential for portfolio diversification resulting in a higher risk-adjusted return for the portfolio.
