You should speak with your legal, financial and tax advisors to learn more and determine if alternative assets make sense for you.

Alternatives have a unique set of risks. You should review the applicable offering documents to determine if an investment is right for you. For more information, see this article.
Alternatives are not guaranteed, are generally less liquid than other types of securities, and are not protected by SIPC. Accordingly, you may not be able to sell interests in securities you have purchased. Please contact your attorney and tax advisors for details specific to you on investing in Securities.
