The study focuses on the comparison between traditional and alternative investments, analyzing the structure, returns, and risks associated with each category. With the historical overview highlighting developments from the earliest forms of trade to modern financial markets, the importance of investments in economic growth is emphasized. Technology today with tools such as online trading, algorithms, and cryptocurrencies has reshaped the landscape, offering new opportunities and challenges.
The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate portfolio diversification as a strategy for risk reduction and return stabilization. The analysis includes traditional investments such as equities and bonds, comparing them with alternative options such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of financial crises and the investment trends they generate, as well as the role of technology through blockchain.
The study is based on a literature review and comparative analysis of secondary sources, utilizing data from academic publications, international financial reports, and studies by institutions (e.g., IMF, OECD). Qualitative and quantitative elements are examined regarding returns, risk dispersion, and the correlation of alternative investments with traditional markets.
Overall, the dissertation concludes that a balanced allocation of resources between traditional and alternative investment instruments can ensure stable returns and long-term sustainability, while adapting to evolving economic conditions and the challenges of the modern market.
