Exceptional investment ideas for family offices

How do you size your allocation to alternative investments?
Family offices need ongoing liquidity—whether for an operating business, private equity capital calls, or to meet family expenses. Yet most asset allocation models fail to address cash flow when sizing a family office's allocation to illiquid alternative investments.
Bernstein’s Alternatives Impact Analysis helps astute capital allocators make nuanced decisions across the entire spectrum of investment choices.
