Summary
Benefits and Pensions Monitor's monthly alternatives spotlight, published under InvestmentNews branding and dated February 2, 2023, states that alternative investments are increasingly a core part of the portfolios advisors construct for their clients. The feature is framed around three areas: how advisors are using alternatives in client portfolios, the challenges and opportunities they encounter when implementing these strategies, and their expectations for future allocations across asset classes such as real estate and commodities.

The publisher describes the series as a monthly set of articles on a theme affecting Canadian plan sponsors and institutional investors. The available text is limited to the report's scope and introduction; it does not include specific allocation percentages, performance data, or named advisors. Readers seeking those details would need the full report, which is behind a subscription paywall.
