Other Investment Vehicles
Stocks, bonds and mutual funds are the most popular securities investments, but many more exist, usually in specialty market areas. These include:

Currency trading (or speculating).
Precious metals.
Venture capital arrangements.
Private equity offerings (stock purchases not offered on the general trading market).
Private debt offerings.
Intellectual and digital property.
Hedge funds.
International investments.

These asset classes fit best with the profiles of sophisticated investors. In many cases, they involve long-term projects and multi-year financial planning.

A number of firms specialize in offering and managing these non-traditional investment vehicles.
