How Investors Benefit from Alternative Assets in a Recession

It has been a challenging year for investors. Almost no asset class has been spared – stocks, bonds, crypto, even just holding cash has become expensive due to inflation. But one asset class that continues to outperform the market for many investors is alternative investment vehicles like non-traded REITs.

 

While almost no investment is recession-proof, REITs have been known to weather recessions relatively well. Stable investments like real estate have a tendency to hold their value. This is where REITs that are not publicly-traded (ie: NOT subject to the whims of volatile public markets) stand to benefit. These REITs are less likely to fall prey to price volatility from emotional investing action.

 

An alternative investment asset that is not tied to public markets is a great way to diversify your portfolio this year. Streitwise’s dividend yield has been buttressing portfolios since 2017 to the tune of a 9.2% dividend yield on average, and 8.4% since 2020. These types of cash payouts essentially buy down the risk of future price fluctuations and help put money in your wallet.
