Alternative investments

Help diversify your portfolio, manage volatility and pursue enhanced returns with more complex investment strategies

If you’re a sophisticated investor, you may be looking for ways to enhance your long-term financial health throughout periods of economic expansion, downturn and recovery. 

At RBC Wealth Management, we find that alternative investments may offer unique building blocks to help support traditional portfolios — offering new potential sources of income and additional opportunities to grow your wealth.

Alternative investments seek to provide equity, credit and real asset exposure that differs from traditional investment portfolios. Often they access private markets by investing in securities that are not publicly traded, which may offer less liquidity to you as an investor, but in turn can provide diversified exposures.

Since alternative investments are able to access different parts of the market, they may complement our traditional investments, advisory and wealth planning solutions.
