Experts Call For More Alternative Investments Welcomed by AAA

Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) says it supports calls from expert speakers at this year’s InvestmentNews' Alternative-Investments Conference in Chicago for all investors to put cash into alternatives.

Boston, MA, October 06, 2011 - Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) says it supports calls from expert speakers at this year’s InvestmentNews' Alternative-Investments Conference in Chicago for all investors to put cash into alternatives.

Keynote speaker James K. Dilworth of Simple Alternatives LLC told delegates at the event: “Every adviser should allocate some capital to hedged equity.” He added that alternatives can help investors to “generate returns on the downside” as alternative asset classes are less closely correlated with equities and other economic factors that can lead to major losses that can occur during times of economic crisis.

AAA, a research and analysis group that advocates alternative investments, said that since 2008, when many investors lost money on their stock market investments, pressure has been mounting on retail fund managers to increase exposure to alternative asset classes like hedge funds, commodities, real estate and forestry.

AAA claims that forestry is a popular asset class as it has averaged much stronger returns over the past decade or so than the stock markets, while remaining one of the more ethical investment choices. Some forestry investment firms, like Greenwood Management, for example, help reduce deforestation in densely forested developing countries by providing an alternative to timber from native trees.

Analysis partner at AAA, Anthony Johnson said, “We welcome the support shown by the experts at the InvestmentNews conference for alternative assets. In these uncertain economic times, it is wise to spread the risk in an investment portfolio by putting more cash in alternatives.

“Opting for an ethical choice like sustainable forestry investment is, we believe, the right choice for the modern investor with a social and environmental conscience," he added.

The delegates at the conference spoke largely about the advantages of hedge funds, but accepted that these also usually come with higher fees for investors, unlike other alternatives such as foreign exchange investments and forestry.

Bromwich & Smith Addresses the Top Five Mistakes of Canadian Small Businesses

Bromwich & Smith Executive Sandy Lyons Shares the Secrets of Small Business Failures at 2011 Medicine Hat Leadership and Business Conference

Medicine Hat, Alberta, October 04, 2011 - “Canadian small business owners can avoid business failure and being an industry statistic by learning from others’ mistakes,” according to Sandy Lyons, a Trustee in Bankruptcy at the Medicine Hat Office of Bromwich & Smith, Inc.

At the 2011 Medicine Hat Leadership and Business Summit this week, Lyons presented the top five mistakes that lead to Canadian small business failure. “Industry statistics report that within five years of opening their doors more than 30 percent of Canadian small businesses fail. Being aware of common mistakes can mean the difference between having a thriving business and being a business failure statistic,” stated Lyons.

1. Keep Your Business Credit Separate from Your Personal Credit

Many Canadian small businesses use personal credit to finance their businesses. “By using your personal credit for business expenses you may in turn be lowering your personal credit score, reducing the credit available for your personal needs or run the risk of losing everything,” said Lyons.

2. Hire Only when Absolutely Necessary

“Make sure your revenue is ‘real’ before hiring additional reports,” stated Lyons. “Many businesses make the mistake of being too optimistic in regards to projected sales and future business, and take on a new hire before the business or its team are ready financially or have a real need for the help.” When businesses hire, they need to be realistic and practical, as well as hire people that have the right attitude and will help the team drive one’s business forward.

3. Extending Credit – Should You Be a Bank?

Remember, one’s business is just that - a business, not a bank. “When a business offers extended credit to a customer, they are no longer a product or service provider; they’ve turned themselves into a bank,” stated Lyons. “Most small businesses don’t need to offer credit. They simply need to keep their accounts receivable low. Most businesses fail because they can’t collect their receivables, putting too much pressure on a business’ cash flow.”

4. To Market, To Market

“Once you register your company, start marketing and never stop,” said Lyons. “With a good marketing strategy, a small business owner can take control over their revenue stream and not wait for the products or services to sell themselves.” A comprehensive marketing strategy will include a significant online roadmap. “Online marketing is the future and if a business doesn’t have an online presence today, they will be invisible to a substantial percentage of potential customers,” added Lyons.

5. Profit is Queen, Cash is King

“Many Canadian small businesses that are profitable on paper don’t have the cash flow to see them through tough times,” stated Lyons. Having a business line of credit provides working capital in times of cash flow shortfalls. “If a business feels that they may have a future cash flow problem, they need to take steps now to ensure that their business survives and thrives in the future,” added Lyons.

Canadian small businesses face a host of issues as they try to build their future. Success is based on how well they prepare and handle the problems facing every business, and Canadian business can start on the road to success by learning from the mistakes of those businesses that have come before them,” concluded Lyons.
