We believe there are five compelling reasons for investors to consider investing in early-stage companies through iSelect:
- Historical performance data show that early-stage companies offer returns that are uncorrelated, i.e., move up and down at different times and/or greater or lesser degrees, with the returns of more traditional stocks. Therefore, they have the potential to enhance diversification and reduce portfolio risk;
- iSelect offers the opportunity to invest alongside established, proven, venture capital investors;
- iSelect’s in depth selection and due diligence processes help to improve the quality of the opportunities that are available to investors and to provide greater transparency;
- iSelect’s low investment minimums reduce the barrier to entry that has historically restricted investor access to private venture investing, allowing each investor to make a broader range of investments and effectively diversify his or her holdings; and
- iSelect’s online features enable each investor to monitor the companies in his or her portfolio.
As with any investment, you should consult with your financial advisor to determine whether alternative investments should be part of your investment portfolio.
