Has anyone here invested in private equity, a hedge fund, or any type of non-traditional asset? What did you invest in and how did it turn out?

Are you an accredited investor?

Do you have access to private deals in your network that others wouldn’t have access to? If so, I’d say it’s not a bad idea to dabble with 10% to 15% of your investable assets. If not and you’re just investing in other people’s funds, I’d say it isn’t worth your time.

Private equity / hedge funds / alternative investments are largely lottery tickets. Angel investors typically invest in 50 to 100 projects in hopes that 3 to 5 end up positive and one has outsized returns that makes it worth it. A 2x to 5x return isn’t exciting to most venture capital or hedge funds. A 50x or 100x is what they’re chasing. Hopefully that gives you a sense of the risk profile of these types of investments.

I have money in private equity, private credit and private placement . Has worked out great for me so far.

And are the k-1s and having to do capital calls not annoying?

Can someone help me with this? I had a low utilization since pandemic, I.e., ~sub 5%, but never missed any payments. Would credit score be impacted if only one line of credit with a low utilization?

Too few accounts currently paid as agreed

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
