Minimum investment and fees. Compared to alternative investments, traditional investments typically have lower minimum investment sizes and lower fees. For example, you can open a brokerage account with $1,000, but many hedge funds require a minimum investment of $1,000,000. If you’re a new investor or don’t have much money to invest, the smaller minimums could be important. Fees can be substantial especially for many alternative investments. Higher fees reduce your return over time.

Regulation. Traditional investments in public companies issuing stocks and bonds are subject to greater regulatory oversight and are less vulnerable to fraud than some alternative investments. Thus, traditional investments offer a higher level of security than alternatives due to their stricter regulation and greater transparency. Therefore, investing in alternative assets requires additional investor due diligence, which simply means doing your homework before undertaking a specific investment.
