Traditional investing no longer tells the full story of wealth creation.
Alternative Investments: Understanding Risk and Returns is a foundational masterclass designed to help women confidently navigate non-traditional asset classes — from real estate and private equity to venture capital, commodities, and emerging opportunities.
This session demystifies how alternative investments work, why they matter now more than ever, and how to assess both risk and return with clarity instead of fear.
At Radiant, we believe informed confidence is the edge. This masterclass equips you with the language, frameworks, and questions investors use to spot value early — before it becomes obvious.
What You’ll Learn
In this masterclass, you’ll explore:
- What alternative investments are — and how they differ from stocks, bonds, and cash
- Key types of alternatives, including:
- Real estate
- Private equity & venture capital
- Commodities
- Hedge funds
- Collectibles
- Cryptocurrencies
- The real risks to consider, including illiquidity, complex structures, long timelines, and regulatory uncertainty
- How to evaluate opportunities, including:
- Understanding business models and deal structures
- Assessing leadership and track records
- Interpreting numbers under pressure
- Knowing when (and how) you can exit
- Common red flags investors should never ignore
- How alternative investments fit into a diversified portfolio
- How to align your capital with your values, not just performance
Throughout the session, complex terms such as equity vs. profit-share, SPVs vs. direct ownership, and return timelines are explained in clear, accessible language.
Who This Masterclass Is For
This masterclass is designed for women who:
- Want to move beyond saving into investing
- Are curious about private or off-market opportunities
- Want to assess deals with confidence, not intimidation
- Are building long-term wealth with intention and discipline
You do not need to be a financial expert — just ready to learn how investors think.
Why This Matters
Alternative investments are where asymmetric wealth is often created — early, patiently, and intentionally. But they require clarity, discernment, and a willingness to ask the right questions.
This masterclass is not about chasing hype.
It’s about understanding risk, recognising opportunity, and investing with conviction.
