If the biggest and smartest names on Wall Street invest aggressively in alternative investments don't you think it would be a good idea for every investor? One of the most successful alternative investments today are life settlements but there are many others you and your advisors can consider.

What is the benefit of alternative investments? Well it boils down to returns and safety. Often alternative investments have very high rates of return. For example investors in life settlements routinely make 15% per year on A rated paper. In addition you add security to your portfolio by diversifying into another asset class. In our opinion you at least owe it to yourself to explore the opportunities.
