SGT has achieved tremendous recoveries for clients who have lost money on investments made beyond the traditional options of equity, debt and cash.
SGT's class action and complex litigation practice has successfully recovered hundreds of millions of dollars invested in alternative investments lost because of violations of federal securities laws, breaches of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, and conflicts of interest.
What Are Alternative Investments?
Alternative investments are a type of investment that is not traditional and often considered to be more complex, illiquid, and riskier than traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and cash.
These investments may provide higher returns than traditional equity or debt investments, but they also come with a greater degree of risk and may be less liquid. It is important for investors to understand the nature of these investments and the risks involved before investing.
Some examples of alternative investments include:
Hedge funds
An investment fund that uses advanced investment strategies, such as leveraging and short-selling, to generate high returns.
Private Equity
Investment in private companies, usually through the purchase of a controlling interest. This allows the investor to have a say in the management and direction of the company.
Real Estate
Investing in property or real estate-related assets, such as commercial or residential buildings, land, or mortgages.
Commodities
Investing in physical assets such as gold, silver, oil, agricultural products.
Art and Collectibles
Investing in fine art, antiques, and other collectible items.
Cryptocurrency
Investing in digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
