The investment world has been a challenging place lately. It often feels as though every asset on the planet has been dropping day after day. Yet when you dig deeper, some areas have stood up to the storm.
Enter alternative assets. We had an insightful conversation with serial entrepreneur Slava Rubin, co‑founder of Vincent, the leading search platform for alternative investments, which recently announced VALT Asset Management. VALT opens access to alternative assets that were once reserved for institutional investors. These assets include venture capital, cryptocurrency, collectibles, real estate, art, and private credit—now available to individual investors.
Remarkably, some of these asset classes have actually appreciated in the current market environment. We discussed the benefits of diversifying your portfolio into alternatives, suggested allocation considerations, and why the traditional 60/40 portfolio may no longer serve investors as it once did.
Have you ever wanted to invest in an authentic pair of Michael Jordan sneakers, a Monet painting, or collectibles from football legend Pelé? Whether you’re an investor or a collector, there’s likely something in this space that will interest you.
