Stock Market Crash will Lead More Towards Alternatives – AAA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 8, 2011 -- Boston, MA, August 08, 2011 -- This week’s stock market meltdown has further prompted advisers to push their clients towards investing in alternatives, claims Alternative Asset Management (AAA).

Stocks have seen huge losses in the past days as panic strikes traders in response to US and European sovereign debt concerns. Renewed worries about the state of Italy’s economy and last week’s wrangling in Congress over the US debt ceiling have not helped to calm the hysteria.

Reuters has reported that this has prompted even more wealth management and investment advisers to persuade clients to diversify the risk in their portfolio by investing in alternatives, such as gold, forestry, currencies, real estate and even art and antiques.

AAA is an alternative investment advocacy group, whose leading analyst, Anthony Johnson, is keen to dispel myths about alternative assets classes. “The more ‘alternative’ an alternative investment, the better in these volatile economic times,” claimed the experienced fund manager.

He added, “Alternatives, such as forestry for example, have outperformed equities for the past few years and also give individuals the peace of mind of knowing their cash is helping to prevent deforestation in some of the world’s most vital regions.” Funds such as those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil can deliver strong return on investment, while providing growing markets for timber and forestry products with sustainably produced options.

Investment managers are starting to realize the value of alternatives as part of an investment portfolio and many more will opt for alternatives following this latest run of stock market losses, claimed AAA. Mr Johnson added, “The clients themselves are putting their fund managers under increasing pressure to opt out of traditional investment and put their cash in alternatives – and the more they see events like the rash this week, the more they will be keen to find a safe haven for their money.”
