Another amazing content! Quick question, (1) what is the logic of UITF and ETFs not being part of alternative investment? How is it different with funds?(2) is fund manager same with portfolio manager vs brokers? (3) who manages each alternative investment? Is it different per each type of alternative investment ? I.e. if fund = fund manger, hedge fund = ?, real estate =?, infrastructure =?, private capital =?, commodities=?, natural resources=? Or an investor can directly manage it? (4) will you consider copy trading as an alternative investment? Thanks

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Thanks. 1) alternative investments is more about asset classes (commodities, real estate, private equity) than vehicles used to make investments 2) not sure what you mean? 3) yes, they are very much different

4) copy trading is a method, not an asset class in its own right
