This past week I was a guest on my friend Nate Geraci's podcast, ETF Prime. In addition to hosting ETF Prime, Nate is President of the ETF Store and a co-founder of the ETF Institute. In short, he's forgotten more about ETFs by breakfast than I have learned in my lifetime.
In our ~20-minute conversation, we covered a lot of ground with an emphasis on the alternative asset landscape and the role of alts in a portfolio. Given Nate's background, the question naturally came up:
Are Alternative Investments and ETFs Compatible?
While the obvious answer would seem to be 'yes' given how ubiquitous ETFs are today as the default product choice for millions of investors, the reality is not so cut and dry.
