Therese Murray from The Senior recently reviewed Travis Miller's book Grow Your Wealth Faster with Alternative Assets.

Are you looking for higher growth than what traditional investment options can offer?

Many investors are looking to diversifying their portfolio, yet advice often skews toward traditional assets - and this is a mistake if you're seeking big returns.

In the new book, Grow Your Wealth Faster with Alternative Assets (Wiley, $34.95, May 31), Travis Miller, one of Australia's leading alternative asset managers, provides everything you need to know about the lucrative opportunities available in alternative investing.

As the co-founder and chief executive of iPartners, Travis draws upon decades of finance experience to show how a few small changes to your investment strategy can help you reap major benefits and higher returns - without taking on more risk.

He explains how new financial technologies and investment platforms are making many high-yield alternative investments easily accessible to investors and shows how to effectively diversify your portfolio with alternative assets like commercial property, infrastructure, private equity, private credit, agriculture, commodities, and more.

In this easy-to-read, practical guide, readers learn:

• What to look for in an alternative asset;
• How to assess risk and expected returns;
• What traps and pitfalls to avoid;
• Where to find stability and growth;
• How to navigate fees, finances, and due diligence.

No matter where you're at in your investment journey, Grow Your Wealth Faster with Alternative Assets unpacks why alternative assets have taken off in the global market and why now is the time for Australian investors to capitalise on these new investment opportunities.

Author Travis Miller is co-founder and CEO of iPartners, a leading Australian alternative asset marketplace with approximately $5B in funds under management.
