For our Digital Dialogue discussion of 16th June, Hubbis will assemble a panel of experts to review this expanding universe of alternative investments and to analyse why, for Asia’s HNW and UHNW investors, alternatives offer an increasingly appealing range of opportunities for investors to set alongside their core mainstream public financial market assets in their portfolios. The word ‘alternative’ today spans all types of non-mainstream investments, from private equity, debt and real estate, gold/precious metals, digital assets/cryptocurrencies, hedge funds, and even fine art and collectibles of all types from cars to luxury yachts.
This world of alternative investments has been diversifying, expanding and moving increasingly centre stage for some years already, and the appeals of diversification have definitely caught on amongst wealthy private clients in Asia, especially in more recent times. Experts are even more positive about private clients raising allocations to alternatives, given the volatility of the public markets, stretched mainstream asset valuations and the historical performance of many of the alternatives that investors might have bought into. Further fuel to accelerate this trend comes in the form of global geopolitical uncertainties, worries over inflation and rising rates, and concerns about government finances.
Accordingly, our panel of experts will review the main drivers for rising allocations to alternatives and consider in the current and anticipated environment which assets offer the most appeals, and advise investors how to go about finding the best opportunities. They will also debate how the wealth management industry in Asia can curate the right products, services, talent, and strategies to capture more of this business. They will also look at the potential for the 'democratisation' of access to alternatives, as digital technologies and the blockchain open the door to delivering some of these alternatives in more ‘bite-size’ portions to the growing ranks of mass affluent investors in Asia.

Alternative Investments – Their Rising Prominence in Asia's HNW & UHNW Portfolios and Opening the Door to Mass Affluent Investors
- Are alternative investments now a core element in the portfolios for Asia’s wealthy investors? Why or why not, and should they be?
- Given the world’s economic outlook, volatile geopolitics, the troubled fiscal state of many governments, the highly-priced mainstream equity markets and the prospects for inflation and possibly rising interest rates, what impact are all these factors having on the alternative assets markets worldwide?
- How should investors look at alternatives - for yield, gain, risk mitigation, downside protection, and what typical holding periods should they be considering?
- What types of portfolio allocations have HNW and UHNW investors made to alternatives thus far, and what positioning should they adopt for the future?
- What alternative assets should they be buying, or considering, and why?
- What is the wealth management community doing in Asia to cater to the growing demand and the potential for significantly greater allocations to alternatives amongst Asia’s wealthier clients?
- How about the online/digital platforms? Are they boosting their curation and delivery of alternatives for intermediaries and for private clients directly and opening the doors to the mass affluent market?
- What are the safest ways to gain access and what are the dangers to be aware of in building greater exposures to alternative assets?
