Doing well by doing good is a wonderful investment theme. In a wild and crazy world with high uncertainty and widening income inequality, I wanted to focus on a key investing trend that is only gathering more momentum as time goes by.

In an era of near zero interest rates, few investors have sufficient retirement savings to live off the income produced by a portfolio of low-risk bank deposits and Treasurys. Investors can strive to address this shortfall by reaching down the scale of fixed-income credit quality (to aptly named “junk” bonds) or through exposure to high volatility, high-yielding alternative asset classes.
