Alternative credit lets investors expand, diversify their fixed-income tactics

Gregg Bell, co-founder of A3 Financial Investments -- which runs the A3 Alternative Credit Fund -- discusses why investing in alternative credits like reverse mortgages, private credit, credit-linked notes and more can create income streams that wouldn't be available to most individual investors without the closed-end, interval fund structure. Bell -- whose fund is positive this year and up nearly 9 percent since opening in October 2019 -- says that few retail investors have exposure to the alternative credit market, and explains how and why they could benefit from thinking beyond Treasuries and corporate bonds.
