Why are people attracted to alternative investment strategies?

With recent amendments to pension law and access to pensions in the UK, there are now millions of people who will never get to access the funds.

Simply the government in its great wisdom has started to move the access age to pensions to eighty, so most people will die before they get to spend their pension on their retirement.

This blatant rorting of the population is leading people to look at ways of accessing higher yield alternatives, which are focused on creating wealth quicker so individuals can self-fund their pension enabling them to leave the work force early.

This opens up other issues, as people will need to fund these investments from their own funds which may be reliant on a strong saving routine, or accessing funds that are sitting in equity from their properties. Remortgaging the family home, which will allow individuals the opportunity to access the cash that has built up as house prices rise is going to offer some hope, but where do they invest it and why?

High yield funds, risky development projects, international property opportunities, solid gold or silver investments are all options.

#Trading the financial markets offer many people an entry into higher yielding opportunities, options, foreign exchange trading or commodities and futures are very popular.

The next problem is where do individuals get the education required, to support a high yield investment approach, which is short for high risk opportunities really, or do they find people that deliver and vet these alternative investment strategies and effectively invest in mixed or variable risk funds.

Education and understanding the risk and reward is vital if people are to fund their escape from the workforce and it is estimated that many will spend in excess of £10,000 to learn where and to the how to, required to take this higher yielding, higher risk, but higher opportunity for a solid percentage return.

It is simple to put all the opportunities in one basket, when they are so diversified, but when you stand back there is going to be an abundance of new opportunities that occur, as the impact of the governments approach to fleecing its hard working citizens, starts to sink in to those people who are around fifty and are looking at another thirty years before they can retire.

It seems education companies and investment firms that target this growing group of dissatisfied workers will perform well over the next ten years.
