Alternative Investments

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Alternative Investments is a practical introduction to nontraditional assets and the role they can play in a diversified portfolio. Dorian Frinch explores cryptocurrencies, blockchain-based assets, commodities, peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding, private equity, venture capital, and emerging markets, explaining how each category generates returns and where its greatest risks may appear.

The audiobook examines volatility, liquidity, regulation, custody, valuation, platform risk, currency exposure, leverage, fees, and long investment lockups. It also explains how investors can assess digital assets, precious metals, energy commodities, private loans, startup opportunities, real estate crowdfunding, private funds, and developing economies without losing sight of basic financial discipline.
