| Salim6 | can someone pls explain why C ? |
| SAB1987 | @Salim6 - Firstly you can rule out A because alternative investments are relatively common and then the decision between B and C is whether they are new or old. If you think about alternatives such as commodities, real estate, fine wine, etc then these are very old forms of investment. So C is your answer. |
| ascruggs92 | This one confused me a little but it makes sense now. An example would be that Hedge Funds (considered an alternative investment) typically own stocks and bonds, which are some of the oldest investment classes |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
