Historically, investors have predominantly relied on traditional assets such as stocks and bonds to build portfolios. These classic investments have undoubtedly proven their worth over time. However, the modern era has ushered in new opportunities that challenge the status quo. Liquid alternatives, also known as alternative investments, are at the forefront of this revolution.

In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Michael Green, Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management. Michael has been a student of markets and market structure for nearly 30 years. His proprietary research into the shift from actively managed portfolios and investment funds to systematic passive investment strategies has been presented to the Federal Reserve, the BIS, the IMF, and numerous other industry groups and associations. Michael joined Simplify in April 2021 after serving as Chief Strategist and Portfolio Manager for Logica Capital Advisers.

Known for his expertise in alternative investments, Mike talks to Rusty and Robyn about the rise of liquid alternatives, such as ETFs and managed futures, and their benefits to investors. He emphasizes the need for diversification and the opportunity to do something different in a market dominated by passive equity and bond exposure. Mike also shares insights on the role of commodities in portfolios.
