Boron Capital’s CEO, Blake Templeton, was recently featured in Forbes to help investors avoid the most costly mistakes they can make when diversifying into alternative investments.

Here is a small excerpt from the article titled, “Four Guiding Principles To Diversify Into Alternative Investments”:

1. Always Weigh Cash Flow Profit Margins Over Assets Under Management
   “Don’t rate the viability of a company by the number of assets they manage… Net profit margins tell the real story. The strongest companies have consistent cash flow equal to at least 35% net profit margins…”
2. Look For Diversification Within Your Diversification
   “…balance is key; you don’t want to be an investor to companies that are jacks of all trades but masters of none.  Reasonable diversification for a real estate firm is two to four industries within the broader real estate market, producing a net profit margin of 35% or greater in each investment.”
3. Understand That Second Best is More Profitable Than Second Cheapest
   “Not unlike general business, it is far more profitable to have a unique selling proposition in a real estate investment that caters to quality at the upper range of a market than to offer bare bones and lower the price to be a cheaper option.”
4. Be Able to Make Money in the Worst-Case Scenario with Relative Certainty
   “…balance is key; you don’t want to be an investor to companies that are jacks of all trades but masters of none.  Reasonable diversification for a real estate firm is two to four industries within the broader real estate market, producing a net profit margin of 35% or greater in each investment.”
