Anchor Alternative Investments
Democratizing Access to Institutional-Grade Alternatives.
Institutions allocate over 20% to alternatives. Most individual investors allocate zero. We are closing that gap — giving you access to private equity, private debt, hedge funds, and structured products through accessible fund vehicles with monthly liquidity.
The Allocation Gap
Institutions Invest Differently. Now You Can Too.
Global pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments allocate 20–25% of their portfolios to alternative investments. High net worth individuals allocate 5–15%. The mass affluent? Virtually zero. This gap represents an enormous missed opportunity for diversification and risk-adjusted returns.
Institutional Capital
$135–$145 trillion
High Net Worth+
$60–$80 trillion
Mass Affluent
$70 trillion

20% Alternatives = Better Risk-Adjusted Returns
JPMorgan Asset Management data (1989–2024) shows that adding a 20% allocation to alternatives improves portfolio risk-adjusted returns across all risk profiles. A 60/20/20 portfolio (equities/bonds/alternatives) outperforms a traditional 80/20 split.
Five Asset Classes
What Are Alternative Investments?
Private Equity
Invest in privately held companies scaling their businesses. Access pre-IPO opportunities, venture capital, and buyout strategies typically reserved for endowments and pension funds.
Examples: US Fiber broadband, UK driving schools, pre-IPO tech (Cohesity, Epic Games)
Private Debt
Non-bank lending that delivers higher yields with lower volatility than traditional fixed income. Senior secured loans to creditworthy businesses and property-backed instruments.
Examples: UK buy-to-let mortgages, corporate lending, restructured real estate loans
Hedge Funds
Sophisticated strategies designed to deliver positive returns regardless of market direction. Short-selling, leverage, and derivatives used to create uncorrelated return streams.
Examples: Long/short equity, global macro, structured credit
Structured Products
Contractual obligations by banks with defined outcomes. Capital protection, leveraged exposure, or pre-defined coupons — customised to your risk appetite. From just $5,000.
Examples: Capital Protected Notes, Index Income Notes, Stock Income Notes
Private Real Estate
Direct property investments and property funds generating rental income and capital appreciation through refurbishment and development.
Examples: UK logistics properties, European data centres, residential portfolios

Fund data as at 28 February 2026. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance. Returns are provisional and may be subject to change.
Structured Products: Defined Outcomes, From $5,000
Structured products use option contracts to create a more defined range of investment outcomes. Think of them like insurance — you pay a premium (by foregoing some upside or liquidity) to protect against unfavourable outcomes or to lock in a predictable income stream.
Capital Protected Notes
Your capital is protected against losses. You earn a return if the reference asset delivers positive performance. The trade-off: capped upside and a lock-in period (usually 2+ years).
Minimum: $5,000
Income Notes
Collect a regular, pre-defined coupon over the term. Recent issues have delivered coupons of 8% to 17% p.a. from issuers including BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs, SocGen, ABSA, and Nedbank. Your capital and income are guaranteed unless there is an extreme event (typically a fall of more than 30–40% in the reference asset).
Minimum: $5,000 – $10,000
Key insight: Structured products perform across all market environments — bull, bear, and sideways. Income notes are particularly attractive in volatile, sideways markets where equities struggle and cash yields little.

Alternative investments involve risks including potential loss of capital, limited liquidity, and complexity. They are not suitable for all investors. Regulatory requirements classify funds allocating to non-traditional investments as high-risk. This does not necessarily mean all underlying investments carry high risk. Many alternative investments in these funds display less price volatility than traditional listed investments. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Minimum investment amounts and fund availability are subject to change. Please consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.
