Broadly speaking, alternative investments encompass 'additions' to your traditional stock-bond-mutual fund portfolio. They comprise an asset class which, in general, displays lower correlations with traditional investments. This is important because the addition of such assets to a traditional portfolio will statistically result in a portfolio with a lower risk profile and higher risk adjusted returns.
