The type of alternative investment coming to market in 2012 is promising to be ever more interesting and diverse.

Our consultancy team are currently in discussion with owners of such things as natural burial plots and truffle plantations, as well as the more traditional alternative investment products – forest plantations, holiday

lodges and care homes. The alternative investment industry is experiencing a period of significant growth and in the current climate of regulatory reform and continued market volatility it is imperative that product owners adapt their business models to maximize their chances of success. As investment choices continue to grow and investors take much wider control on where and how their funds are being used, the world of alternatives is expanding and maturing at a fast and furious pace. 75% of all investments into alternative products are through a SIPP – there are now over 800,000 people in the UK with their own SIPP with a total of funds invested of £101 billion (Suffolk Life).
