Why Alternative SP Trader Investments?
With interest rates at historic lows and stock market valuations remaining
high, returns from traditional investments in stocks and bonds are likely to
be below average for the next several years.
The allure of alternative SP Trader investments lies in their ability to provide absolute
returns¹ regardless of conditions such as a strong economy, low inflation, or
a bullish stock market.
Indeed, one of the key benefits of an SP Trader investment in futures is this ability to
profit in virtually any economic environment. These are futures on financial
instruments such as the S&P stock index. Unlike other asset classes,
where profits depend solely on price appreciation, opportunities in futures
exist in both rising and falling markets.
Not surprisingly, the amount of assets allocated to alternative investments
has increased dramatically over the past several years as investors search
for alternatives to the stock and bond markets.
