Alternative Investments

Alternative investments include a range of asset classes with distinctive characteristics that differ from traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds, and cash. The alternative investment arena is becoming increasingly accessible to private or individual investors and includes areas such as private equity, hedge funds, property, and commodities, among others.

They differ from traditional investments as they can't be quickly sold or converted into cash. In addition, their low correlation to traditional asset classes, such as stocks, means they don't necessarily follow the price movements of other assets as and when market conditions change.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTING

Investing sustainably has some advantages. Examining a company's financials and market value is not enough - additional metrics must also be taken into consideration. These metrics can include water use, energy consumption, and worker compensation, among others, to provide clues about how sustainable a company is. It has been shown that companies with responsible practices deliver better returns to their investors in the long run.

At SIS Capital Partners, we construct portfolios tailored to clients who want to include sustainability in their investing strategy. We also use 'screens' to guarantee their investments align with their values and can exclude companies, industries, or countries from a portfolio.

For instance, if a client does not wish to invest in companies involved in coal mining, we can eliminate them from the list of potential choices. Some typical portfolio screens include tobacco companies and arms manufacturers.

Like with all our investments, we will keep track of the performance regularly to ensure it meets the risk-adjusted objectives we aim to fulfill.

VENTURE CAPITAL

Venture capital is a way to invest in startups and growing businesses that have the potential to flourish in the long run. By investing, these businesses can achieve their goals, and clients are rewarded with a return on their investment. Unlisted companies can expand and flourish by utilizing venture capital.

As venture capitalists, investors inject funding into up-and-coming companies in return for a stake in their ownership.

Venture capital investing is high risk, with the expectation that many investments will fail and the few that succeed will more than compensate for other losses with much bigger returns.

As there is not a single investment strategy that works for everyone, seeking advice from experienced professionals is always recommended.

REAL ESTATE

Investing in real estate is a popular choice for people around the world. SIS Capital Partners ensures you find the correct investment regardless of whether it is local or international. Placing money in real estate can be an excellent way to generate income, help you become an expatriate, and support existing retirement plans.

With SIS Capital Partners, you can invest in real estate markets and diversify your assets, access foreign markets, and protect your assets, in addition to seeing the world.

We also invest in several real estate funds that cover areas of interest for our clients.

STRUCTURED PRODUCTS

A well-put-together portfolio usually contains traditional investments such as real estate, equities, bonds, and mutual funds. In addition, however, there is another investment area known as structured products, whose popularity has been on the rise. Structured products allow sophisticated investors to access derivatives directly.

This kind of investment makes exploring higher-risk asset classes possible, thus enabling further portfolio diversification. The highly experienced SIS Capital Partners team creates unique strategies tailored to the investor's needs. It is worth highlighting that structured products are complex and not appropriate for everyone, and only experienced, sophisticated investors should consider them.

Contact SIS Capital Partners to see if structured products are a good fit for you.

HEDGE FUNDS

Even with a well-constructed, diversified portfolio, investors are still exposed to risks such as market dips and a decrease in values. Therefore, looking at alternate investments that can shield portfolio value from market volatility, such as hedge funds, is highly recommended to secure long-term success.

SIS Capital Partners works with renowned investment banks to get the best pricing and execution for our clients and invests in hedge funds worldwide.

By investing in hedge funds, you can protect your investment portfolio from the risks of the market. Hedge funds also provide diversification, a focus on returns, and the experience of expert hedge fund managers.

Having a foolproof investment plan that works for everyone is not realistic. That is why clients are advised to seek the guidance of professionals.
