Want Income, Diversification and an Inflation Fix? Some Advisors Are Turning to Real Assets
(By Debbie Carlson) –
Real assets also lend themselves to sustainable investing, and not just for renewable energy projects. Max Kulyk, CEO of Chicory Wealth, has invested in regenerative agriculture, water cooperatives and affordable housing. It’s also become easier to access these projects for his clients as investment minimums have come down. Kulyk has accessed the regenerative agriculture investment through Fidelity, his firm’s custodian. He also uses Citizen Mint, which has investment minimums as low as $10,000. Those platforms allow the investments to appear on client statements and can be easily included as part of Chicory Wealth’s performance reporting.
“Five years ago, when I tried to get into this, I was just pulling my hair out,” he said. “I felt like I couldn’t find anything that worked, either from the visibility standpoint, the scalability standpoint, let alone the impact standpoint, at minimums that my clients could access.”
