# Alternative Investments

When it comes to many investments today, you may feel increasingly vulnerable and uncertain. This is where a different type of investment comes in.

The term *alternative investments* describes a wide range of investment options outside of the traditional stock and bond markets.

Most importantly, alternative investments allow you to diversify your portfolio, bring higher potential returns, and allow you to have personal involvement with your investments.

**Options for alternative investments include:**

- Commercial real estate loans
- Bridge loans
- Peer-to-peer lending
- Life settlement investments
- Passive cash flowing real estate
