Investment, alternative (alternative investment)

Investment, especially preferred by some hedge funds, in assets which – are difficult to convert back into liquidity, such as a work of art, – whose exact value is difficult to determine, such as a purchase in an ailing company, but which – have a low degree of interdependence with other assets such as stocks, bonds, options, so that – the prospect of profit can be assessed as correspondingly favorable. – See German Investment Code, asset portfolio. – Cf. BaFin Annual Report 2010, p. 99 (alternative investments play a minimal role in insurance), BaFin Annual Report 2012, p. 169 (implementation of the EU Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers).
