Alternatives in Focus: What Today’s Investors Are Doing Differently

What’s driving investor confidence—and what’s holding it back? This original research report, based on a proprietary survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults, uncovers key trends in retirement planning, savings behavior, and how individuals are rethinking traditional strategies.

The findings reveal a growing shift toward alternative investments—and a rising demand for greater portfolio control through self-directed IRAs. Yet, despite this new focus and momentum, a clear education gap remains. With Gen X showing signs of vulnerability and Millennials and Boomers on divergent paths, the need for smarter, more inclusive solutions has never been greater.
