Vivaris Capital, Llc Comments On J.P. Morgan'S Latest Study On Portfolio Allocation

30 Percent Allocation to Alternative Investments is SuperiorContactCharlotte Luer***@vivariscapital.com Charlotte LuerEnd-- A new J.P. Morgan research report shows that allocating 30% of your investment portfolio to alternative assets can result in superior annualized returns with less risk and volatility than many of the other, standard portfolio allocations.The report, entitled J.P. Morgan Guide to Alternatives (https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/insights/market-insights/guide-to-alternatives/), states that a 50/20/30 portfolio beats all other models in terms of return on investment and stability over a decade, backing Vivaris Capital's earlier reports."We have been saying for years that alternative investment strategies are well-positioned for continued success at a time when it appears that the classic 60/40 portfolio model is not meeting investors' needs. The J.P. Morgan study (https://www.phxa.com/blog/50-20-30-is-the-new-60-40-but-fund-administration-is-key/) echoes our view by noting that investors benefit from non-correlated privately managed alternative investment funds that provide stability, income, tax advantages and higher returns than many stocks and bonds alone," said J. Christopher Mizer, Founder and CEO of Vivaris Capital, LLC ( https://www.vivariscapital.com/ ), a multi-strategy fund manager offering hybrid hedge and private equity structures."Historical performance data shows that investors can benefit from adding alternative assets to their portfolios, including private equity, venture capital, real estate, and commodities
