    Alternative Investments for HNWIs - The Irish property boom has passed, and it is not likely to return in the form seen in the past decade – for several reasons – most notably, that the next 10 years will not see a repeat of the special factors that characterised the last 10 – notably Ireland’s entry to the Eurozone, and the mostly property-targeted global credit bubble arising from over-leveraging through securitisation. It thus is now appropriate for Irish investors to rebalance their portfolios. This special feature explores the alternative investment opportunities available to Irish HNWIs.

    Spread Betting 2008: Spread betting is increasingly being used to handle trading opportunities arising as a result of the increased volatility of markets.
