A 60\/40 investment<\/span> portfolio, in which 60% is invested in stocks and 40% in bonds, was long considered classic. But that\u2019s no longer the case, as many investors are now diversifying beyond publicly traded assets.<\/p>\n

Alternative investments, or alts, are a direct corollary to diversified portfolios. And they are not just for institutional funds: Individual investors too are showing increasing interest in this asset class, which encompasses all sorts of supports, from wine and watches to gold \u2026 and startups.<\/p>\n

California-based fintech VC firm Broadhaven Ventures invests in companies on the tech side of enabling alts, with a portfolio including Allocate, Alongside, Alt, Capital (known until recently as Party Round), Caplight, Carta, Latitud, Pipe, Republic, Syndicate and others.<\/p>\n
