If it’s good enough for Yale, it’s good enough for your portfolio.
Because traditional stocks and bonds don’t always deliver the full picture of opportunity—or protection. ELITE’s proprietary Semi-Liquid Alternative (SALTS™) portfolios deliver a diversified allocation to alternatives including private equity, private credit, private real estate, hedged equity, hedged income and buffer ETFs.
Higher Returns, Less Risk
Why Alternatives?
Broader Sources of Return
Alternatives tap into markets and strategies beyond the traditional 60/40 mix—real assets, private credit, hedge strategies, and more. These can offer returns not tied to the same economic drivers as stocks and bonds.
Improved Diversification
True diversification means holding investments that behave differently. Alternatives often move independently from traditional markets, helping to smooth volatility and reduce drawdowns.
Inflation & Interest Rate Protection
Real assets and private market strategies can provide a hedge when inflation rises or rates shift—scenarios that often hurt traditional portfolios.
Risk-Adjusted Returns
Alternatives can enhance long-term performance by improving the balance of risk and return, not just chasing higher returns.
Institutional Access
Endowments, pensions, and family offices have long used alternatives to drive growth and stability. Today, new structures make these same opportunities accessible to individual investors.
Growth SALTS™ Role in the ELITE Portfolio
Growth SALTS provide alternative growth opportunities to complement public equity exposure. They deliver differentiated return streams, reduce reliance on traditional market leadership, and enhance long-term capital appreciation.
