What are alternative investments?
Alternative investments are opportunities outside of public stocks and bonds. They include private equity, venture capital funds, angel deals, and other private market offerings that aim to provide growth, diversification, and access to companies before they go public.
Who can invest in these opportunities?
Some offerings require you to meet specific investor qualifications, such as accredited status, income thresholds, or net worth criteria. Surmount will guide you through the eligibility check automatically before you invest.
Why should I consider alternative investments?
They offer access to early stage and private market growth that is not available in public markets. They can also help diversify your portfolio since private assets often move differently from public stocks.
How risky are these investments?
Private market investments carry higher risk, longer timelines, and limited liquidity. Returns are not guaranteed and you may not be able to withdraw your funds early. Surmount provides clear risk summaries so you can make informed decisions.
How long is the typical investment timeline?
Most private equity and venture funds run for five to ten years. Angel deals may take even longer to reach an outcome. Each opportunity will clearly display its expected timeline before you commit.
How does Surmount evaluate each offering?
Every opportunity goes through a due diligence process that reviews the manager, track record, strategy, fee structure, and risk profile. Only vetted offerings appear in your dashboard.
