| ankurwa10 | Don't know how accurate I am on this but since alt investment managers seek better than market returns, and leverage is used to magnify returns (of course magnifies losses too :P) so, leverage is usually a feature of alternative investments. |
| ascruggs92 | Yes, but one can do that without an AI vehicle (they can just open a margin account with a broker). I got that wrong, but now that I'm thinking about it, almost all the examples they gave in the notes are characterized by high leverage (i.e. Real Estate, Private Equity, Hedge Funds), so I guess from that standpoint II makes sense. |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
