New research shows investors looking for the best returns might be better off putting money into whisky or Lego, as opposed to the share market. University of Auckland finance lecturer Gertjan Verdickt has released new research into alternative investments, including Lego, instruments, classic cars, wine, whisky and baseball cards. Verdickt says there's value in adding an additional component to a traditional investment portfolio. "Having something real, something tangible, is worth something. And it can produce additional returns on top of your normal portfolio." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
