Best alternative investment

Iraqi dinar

I bought member units in an assisted living facility. Also, a hog confinement building leased to the operator. I'd consider these alternative investments, and you needed to certify yourself as accredited. Both have done o.k. The assisted living facility took longer, and almost went broke as the guy that started it built too many in our area. Got sold last year, and I got my money, and a small return out of it. The pig building performs very, very well. About seven years to pay it off, and income covers this to a large degree. After it was paid off, it continues to have a very good return.

In practice, you're accredited if you say you are.

Seriously, what is it? Is it a place where they store pigs?

Gotcha. Thanks.

Doesn't this hedge fund require a million minimum investment?

If the OP has this kind of cash laying around.......well................

They actually closed it to new money about 6 years ago. If you want in to that strategy, you have to go with their PAMM (Pure Alpha Major Markets) fund. It has about a 25% lower sharpe ratio, but they just turn up the leverage to compensate.
