Abstract:
The realm of alternative investments, comprising commodities, real estate, private equity, and other non-traditional asset classes, presents a rich landscape for investors seeking diversification and enhanced returns. Amidst the complexities of these markets, fractal analysis emerges as a powerful tool for unraveling the intricate dynamics and exploring diversification benefits. This paper delves into the application of fractal theory in alternative investments, assessing its efficacy in analyzing asset price movements, correlations, and portfolio diversification. Through a comprehensive review of the literature and empirical evidence, we elucidate how fractal analysis techniques can deepen our understanding of alternative investment markets and inform strategic decision-making. Key findings highlight the ability of fractal analysis to capture nonlinear dependencies, self-similarity, and multi-scale dynamics across various asset classes. The study demonstrates how these insights enhance portfolio resilience, optimize asset allocation, and improve risk-adjusted returns. Additionally, this research contributes novel perspectives on integrating fractal methods with portfolio management and risk diversification strategies. © 2025 World Scientific Publishing Company.
