Another Look at "Alternative Investments"

As stock prices turn volatile, investors are looking for high returns in other places. Is Cryptocurrency & other "investments" a good idea?

Investments

Most investors think of a traditional portfolio of stocks and bonds when considering investing their hard-earned money. This type of investment has a long history that can be referenced giving investors an expectation of growth for the future. As an example, since 1926, the S&P 500 index has returned a little over 10% annually. Although returns from year to year often can vary1, this should give investors an idea of what a long-term investment in this stock index may return.

At Prato Capital, we feel there should be a purpose to our client's investments and that should be to further their financial goals, like retirement, house purchase, and college savings, all as part of a Financial Life Plan (FLP). With the traditional investment portfolio and its long history of returns through many historical events, a long-term growth rate can be predicted with remarkable accuracy. This makes our clients investments a productive part of their FLP and gives them a very good idea what to expect financially in their future.
