Morgan Stanley Investment Management Launches Alternatives Investing Center
Comprehensive education platform helps financial advisors navigate investment strategies within private equity and credit, real estate, hedge funds and infrastructure.
“Structural shifts in financial markets, shifting regulations and enhanced technology have transformed how investors think about building and preserving wealth,” said Frank Famiglietti, Head of Intermediary Distribution for Alternatives, MSIM. “As stocks and bonds become increasingly correlated, the traditional 60/40 portfolio no longer reflects the investment opportunities available to individual investors. Alternatives provide essential portfolio diversification, introducing returns that are not directly dependent on public market cycles.”
The Alternatives Investing Center builds on MSIM’s four decades of market expertise and its reputation as a pioneer in allocating across alternatives. The curriculum includes in-depth courses spanning public and private markets, providing comprehensive and unbiased educational content designed to empower advisors to act on behalf of clients. Courses are delivered through learning modules, live and on-demand continuing education courses, in-depth strategy-level investment guides, and expert insights and resources. Financial advisers can also receive continuing education credits.
“New investment structures are making alternatives more accessible, more flexible, and more aligned with the needs of individual investors and their advisors,” said Mr. Famiglietti. “Navigating the different structures and vehicles while harnessing information in new ways can set advisors apart – and these courses help advisors think about portfolio allocation and investing opportunities in a new way.”
The Alternatives Investing curriculum includes nine learning seminars across private equity and credit, real estate, hedge funds, infrastructure and venture capital. The debut live webinar on portfolio construction and asset allocation takes place on October 7 and examines why advisors may want to consider a new approach to asset allocation and how and why to fit non-traditional investment opportunities into client portfolios. Participants may register online in the Alternatives Investing Center.
