Excerpt from article:

Almost $9-billion flowed into liquid alternative mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the first half of 2025. "Alternative investments have changed with the times, Mr. Johnston says. They used to mean investing your money for years with no liquidity options, no interim cash flow, and no secondary market, which doesn’t work for the average retail investor, he says. Now, funds have lower investment minimums, shorter holding periods, liquidity options and a secondary market. However, Mr. Johnston says investors still need to ensure the underlying assets in the fund are liquid enough for their needs."
