A growing amount of academic and industry research shows more clients are seeking to diversify beyond stocks and bonds. At the same time, there is a clear push from both the private fund industry and the registered fund industry to expand retail access to alternative investments — including hedge funds, private equity, real estate, commodities, collectibles and cryptocurrencies.
As a result, financial planning professionals need to get up to speed on the unique rules and requirements that apply to alternatives — especially how their taxation compares and contrasts with more traditional asset classes.
To help with the effort, ThinkAdvisor presents the following alternative investments quiz, drawn from the ThinkAdvisor Tax Facts library. Only the savviest can ace the test, but all advisors can benefit from the refresher.
