MNY117 Plus: Alternative Investments and Antifragility

July 30, 2016 by David Stein

This week on Money For the Rest of Us Plus we review the imputed interest rate sensitivity (i.e. duration) of various asset classes and why hedge fund like strategies are not sensitive to changes in interest rates. We then look at options for non-accredited individual investors to invest in liquid alternative strategies.

We also revisit what it means to be antifragile and how can one implement a barbell investment strategy that combines both aggressiveness and paranoia.

As part of our antigragile investing analysis we look at the challenges in investing in VIX volatility exchange traded notes.

Finally I answer a question on what model portfolio do I use in my investing and alternative ways to hold gold other than as physical coins.

The episode length is 29 minutes.
