Skip navigation Menu Home Investment Solutions Alternative investments Print Social Links Global leader in alternative investments LGT is a leading global provider of alternative investment solutions such as private equity, insurance-linked investments and hedge funds. In contrast to traditional investments, many alternative investments - such as private equity solutions, hedge funds, insurance-linked investments, real estate and commodity funds - are not listed and are partially illiquid. Hurdles and chances of alternative investments Alternative investments are extremely attractive investments for risk-tolerant investors, but are also difficult and challenging: many private investors do not have access to alternative investments. Alternative investments require very high minimum investment amounts and many demand a higher risk capacity and a long-term investment horizon. To invest successfully, investors must have wide-ranging knowledge of the opportunities and risks associated with alternative investments. Interested investors also need a global network of relationships and local expertise. In spite of all these hurdles, alternative investments offer important advantages: specifically because they are illiquid and difficult to access, they offer knowledgeable and risk-tolerant investors the opportunity to earn a higher return in the long term than with traditional investments. Another important advantage of alternative asset classes: their yields and price movements often do not correlate or develop totally opposite to those of traditional asset classes. They are therefore excellent instruments for adding diversification to a portfolio. LGT makes it possible for private investors to also invest in alternative investments - and gives them access to the expertise of its investment specialists. At LGT, you can also invest amounts that are comparatively low in the industry.
