Overview
This theme investigates how alternative assets contribute to portfolios over long horizons. While traditional studies focus on equities and bonds, our research extends the analysis to real estate and collectible assets, using long‑run data that are rarely available to practitioners.
By assembling historical return series and examining behaviour across economic cycles, the projects shed light on the role that tangible and passion assets can play in institutional and private portfolios. The findings help investors assess whether, and under what conditions, alternative assets can enhance long‑term risk‑adjusted returns.
