| 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 just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
