    People are now looking at alternative investments, and not just stocks, gold and real estate. In an interview with Mint, Nelson Lacey, director of examinations, CAIA Association, an institution which provides alternative investment education, talks about what is alternative investment and what’s in it for Indian investors.

     

    What do alternative investments mean? How do they differ from traditional investment avenues?
