About this video
Most people think “investing” = stocks, bonds, or FDs.
But that’s just the surface level.
There’s a whole world beyond it :
- Private Equity,
- Venture Capital,
- Hedge Funds,
- Real Estate, even Farmlands.
These are called Alternative Investments.
They don’t always move with the stock market
sometimes,
when stocks fall, these stay strong.
Sounds fancy?
Well, it’s not just for billionaires —
it’s a core part of what you learn in the CFA curriculum.
This is just Day 1 of my 45-day series “Is CFA for You?”
Stick around — the next few days will actually help you figure out if CFA is your thing or not.
Let’s go deeper, one day at a time.
