Alternatives at AllianceBernstein (AB)

What Are Alternative Investments?

In basic terms there are two broad categories of alternative investments. One category focuses on assets outside the traditional mix of stocks, bonds, and cash—think infrastructure projects, property holdings, or private equity. The second type includes more advanced investment strategies, like betting a stock will fall or borrowing money to invest.
