Without education on how to implement an allocation to private markets investments, many advisors are waiting on the sidelines despite the clear benefits of allocating.

With relentless market volatility and other stubborn headwinds, advisors must find an adequate portfolio balance for their clients. What role will alternative investments play in offsetting market challenges? In this episode, we dive into this question with Andrea Mody, U.S. wealth private markets head at Macquarie Asset Management. We discuss how Macquarie continues to be a trailblazer for the democratization of alternatives, how traditional asset managers are reorganizing to incorporate alternatives, the roadblocks for allocation and Andrea’s outlook for the space.

Alternatives have long been a cornerstone of institutional investment portfolios for their higher returns, lower volatility and diversification, but have historically been difficult for individual investors and financial advisors to access. In this episode, Andrea Mody, head of alternatives for Macquarie Asset Management’s Client Solutions Group, will discuss her firm’s efforts to democratize access to institutional-quality diversified private markets solutions for investors. We’ll delve into the increased demand from individual investors, the challenges that financial advisors face in meeting that demand, and Macquarie’s efforts to provide advisors with the resources, education and tools they need to provide their clients with access to alternative investments.
