About AltStreet
Independent Alternative Investment Research
AltStreet is a research-first project for investors exploring alternative assets—carbon markets, AI infrastructure, private credit, fractional real estate, collectibles, and more. We focus on clear explanations, practical frameworks, and transparent discussion of risk.
What AltStreet Covers
The universe of “alts” has expanded far beyond private equity and hedge funds. New platforms and structures now give investors access to carbon credits, infrastructure, litigation finance, fractional real estate, private credit, collectibles, and other niche asset classes that once lived off the radar.
AltStreet tracks these markets through investment news, platform reviews, and practical guides. The goal is not to chase every new product, but to understand what each asset class actually is, how it fits in a portfolio, and where the real risks and frictions live.
How We Do Our Research
Our starting point is always the underlying asset: cash flows, counterparties, regulation, liquidity, and incentives. From there, we look at how different platforms package access—minimums, fees, structures, and secondary markets where they exist.
We use a mix of traditional research methods and modern tools, including data sets and AI-powered workflows, to scan disclosures, compare terms, and surface patterns across platforms. Human judgment stays at the center; AI is used as a tool to help organize information and spot questions worth digging into, not to make investment decisions.
Who This Is For
AltStreet is written for investors who like to read the footnotes: individual investors building their own portfolios, operators with concentrated exposure to a single industry, and professionals who want a clearer map of the alt landscape.
Nothing on this site is investment advice. Instead, think of it as a companion resource—helping you ask better questions, understand the tradeoffs behind different structures, and situate any given deal in the broader context of its asset class.
The Team
AltStreet is currently run by a small team with backgrounds in research, investing, and digital strategy. We are independent and do not sell investment products. When we have any economic relationship with a platform or sponsor, it will be clearly disclosed.
Over time, we plan to bring in additional contributors with deep experience in specific verticals like carbon, infrastructure, private credit, and other specialist corners of the market.
