“Global alternative assets undermanagement (AUM) topped $10 trillion in 2020 and are on track to exceed $14 trillion by 2023” - a new report from Preqin shows.
ADT provides solutions for investors and traders to connect with a trusted counter-party, navigating fair and transparent access to the lucrative alternative assets market.
An alternative investment is a financial asset that does not fall into one of the conventional investment categories. Conventional categories include stocks, bonds, and cash. Alternative investments include private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, managed futures, art and antiques, commodities, and derivatives contracts. Real estate is also often classified as an alternative investment.
Global alternative assets under management (AUM) topped $10 trillion in 2020 and are on track to exceed $14 trillion by 2023, a new report from Preqin shows. AUM grew from $9.56 trillion at the end of 2018 and $6.43 trillion at the end of 2013, according to the report, "Alternatives in 2020”. The growth projection to more than $14 trillion in AUM by 2023 is on track to meet or exceed Preqin's projection in its 2018 report, "The Future of Alternatives."
While traditional investors and traders entering the alternative asset space have largely focused on exchange trading, one area continues to have high barriers to entry and is some what un-penetrated by investors: over-the-counter (OTC) trading.
Within some assets within the alternative asset universe OTC trading is characterized by a few players with connections dominating a region, a country, market or particular commodity creating an oligopoly with certain players holding significant market power to determine pricing and control supply. With other alternative assets, OTC trading lacks the transparency and process to bring comfort to investors looking to mitigate counter-party risk.
ADT looks to address these problems by providing solutions that enable investors and traders alike to have a trusted counterparty to navigate a fair and transparent access to the very lucrative alternative assets market.
ADT leverages on decades of experience and a vast network of connections to be able to access certain countries, regions, or markets within the alternative assets ecosystem to provide its clients and investors with opportunities not usually open to traditional investors or providing trading with the legitimacy and processes expected from traditional finance. Coupled with the ability to design customized hedging strategies for arbitrage within the alternative assets market, ADT is able to provide very specialized services and solutions focused on a rapidly expanding market.
