On July 31, VettaFi will host its Alternatives symposium. This free event will give investors a deep look at the broad alternatives space. Additionally, the symposium offers CE credits. Amid market uncertainty, more investors are seeking nontraditional approaches and strategies to mix into their portfolio.
“There has been a lot of innovation in the alternatives space, and asset flows tell us that investors are finding a lot of value in these ETFs. From hedging equity, to buffering your equity exposure, to finding alternative paths to income, alts are a broad category that has a lot to offer,” VettaFi’s Cinthia Murphy said. “And let’s not forget crypto! What a year it’s been for crypto investors. We’re excited to jump into all of that.”
Industry Experts to Cover Alternatives
The symposium will gather experts from issuers such as NEOS, T. Rowe Price, CoinShares, Fidelity, and Innovator. Accordingly, these industry leaders will share their knowledge and highlight the innovative strategies investors are deploying to meet this unusual market moment.
Cryptocurrency Captures Investor Attention
With bitcoin hitting record highs, it is essential for investors to understand the strategies available to them for exposure to this new asset class. As bitcoin becomes more mainstream and other cryptocurrencies offer their own qualities, CoinShares brings a wealth of crypto expertise and experience to the table.
Alternatives Offer Unique Income Options
Covered calls and put options have helped investors mitigate risk and get access to cashflow at a critical time. Accordingly, the Alternatives symposium will feature a session devoted to these unique strategies. Options have become increasingly important to investors.
Looking Beyond Traditional Strategies
The Alternatives symposium offers investors an opportunity to learn about more traditional alternatives like commodities. However, it also features sessions devoted to a host of unique strategies. These include structured protection ETFs, hedged equities, and even catastrophe bonds. As the global economy reacts to tariffs, climate change, and geopolitical strife, understanding the tools available can help investors keep their portfolios healthy.
“The landscape of alternative finance is ever-evolving, and in today’s uncertain times, more advisors are turning to creative ways to both stay invested and capture upside while cushioning the blow from downside surprises. Buffer ETFs, in particular, are experiencing something of a boom right now, coming off a record month of inflows earlier this year,” said VettaFi’s Kirsten Chang. “We’re excited to bring together the best and brightest at VettaFi’s Alternatives symposium to drill into everything from derivatives-based hedging to the crazy world of crypto.”
