  • Understand the basics of private market investing
  • Dive into the data

What are alternative investments?

Private market alternatives represent a significant—and relatively untapped—opportunity, much larger than many realize. While most investors’ portfolios are comprised of traditional publicly traded stocks and bonds, private markets differ as they are not traded on public exchanges. They can include direct investments in private company equity and credit, real estate, and real assets such as, infrastructure or farmland. Private markets can work alongside public holdings to offer diverse investment opportunities that help take your portfolio further.

Where can I learn more?

Nuveen offers tools to help navigate these markets through the Private Markets Institute, a multi-faceted educational program, designed to enhance understanding of alternative investments, why they’re important in today’s market and how to include them in portfolio construction.
