Q&A with Kristina Hooper

Within the alternatives space, what are your thoughts on real estate? 

 

Answer (footage of Kristina)

What's really interesting about real estate is that a lot of it is not cyclical. I think many investors don’t necessarily realize that at first blush. It can include student housing, it can include medical buildings, self-storage, a whole variety of areas that are not tied to the economic cycle. So, for me, what we're hearing and seeing right now is, is there's a lot of interest in real estate for the income it generates, and I think that makes sense.

Q&A with Kristina Hooper

Are there any other alternative asset classes you’re watching closely?

 

Answer (footage of Kristina) 

Another area of opportunity is floating rate loans. Of course, they can benefit from a rising rate environment.

And because economies like the US have been quite resilient, credit quality is good. So, this is a very attractive area and one that can offer diversification benefits for those with a core fixed income portfolio.
