41. Illiquidity Isn’t the Enemy: Rethinking Risk, Reward, and Romance in Alts with Brodrick Lothringer
Manage episode 485607324 series 3551232
In this episode, we unpack the emotional baggage, regulatory blind spots, and real-world complexity that make alternative investments both fascinating and frustrating.
From farmland and fractional art to NFTs and Opportunity Zones, Dr. Craig Lemoine, Ailie Elmore, and Brodrick Lothringer explore what it takes to move beyond the standard portfolio. They explain why liquidity isn't always your friend, how client education can bridge the alt knowledge gap, and why holding onto "Meemaw's peach orchard" might not be the best investment strategy. If you've ever wondered why alternatives are so misunderstood, this is the conversation that brings clarity with a side of humor.
Key takeaways:
- Illiquid assets can offer valuable returns if matched with the right strategy and time horizon
- Emotional decision-making often clouds judgment in alternatives more than in traditional investments
- Advisors need better tools and confidence to talk about alts rather than avoiding the topic altogether
