Q: David Picton is claiming the traditional 80/20 or 60/40 portfolio is history and investors should be thinking about having a 40, 30, 30 portfolio with liquid alternatives (alpha driven strategies). They suggest something that does not move in sync with bonds or stocks. What is your opinion on this and if you support this strategy what alternative investments would you suggest a novice in this area look into? Anything at Picton Mahoney? Thank you!

Q: How does one determine if an alternative investment company is legit and determine the level of risk with the investment. My daughter has been looking at bequest legacy investing. They have a legacy fund that invests in commercial real estate, performing loans and energy that provides 10% cash flow and gives you your investment back after two years if you choose or you can stay invested. Are you familiar with this company?

Q: I follow Jason Donville and like 5iresearch recommends similar tech companies as 5i using "the rule of 40". Do you use this rule? Other than his fairly transparent newsletter, is there any way to see exactly what his holdings are in the DKAM Capital Ideas fund?
Q: Over the past few weeks I've become increasingly interested in alternative investing, particular with regard to fixed income. I meet the criteria for an accredited investor and could manage an offering memorandum, yet liquid alts look a little more interesting. Three questions: (1) Do you think there's a case to be made to redeploy 5% to 10% of the traditional 60/40 mix into alternatives? (2) Are you guys up for answering some questions about the different liquid alt strategies? (3) If not, any suggestions where a relatively savvy investor would go to get some good independent advise on how to best wade into this asset class?
