Given the current valuations of traditional stocks and bonds, more investors are looking at diversifying their portfolios to include alternative investments. Zacks Private aims to appeal to those accredited investors, giving them a space to search through a wide variety of investment options from biotechnology to oil & gas funds. Investors can compare hedge fund performance and review detailed offering materials submitted by issuers.
The website is easy to navigate, and gives accredited investors access to many tools to aid them in their search for alternative investments. On the main page, you can alter the search criteria for offerings if you already have a certain type of investment in mind, or you can browse the list of current active offerings just below. Near the bottom of the page there is a section for recent alternative investment news updates as well as a community forum for more active participation and communication between like-minded investors. There is a lot of information to be found on this site, but it’s laid out in a way that isn’t overwhelming.
The selection of investor tools, however, is what really makes this website stand out and will be a great help to investors looking to learn more about alternative investments before proceeding with an investment. Along with news updates, there are also industry research papers, a glossary of useful terms, a hedge fund due diligence worksheet, a risk assessment questionnaire, a list of demystified hedge fund strategies, and a bad actors page to look over as well. These tools are indispensible to investors who are serious about making an informed decision about alternative investments.
So, if you’re an accredited investor who is interested in what alternative investments may have to offer, give the website a look; registration is free. Read up on the recent news, check out the posts on the community forum, and search the database of over 20,000 private placements.
