S2: Ep. 5 - A Better Alternative

Can you change the world through investing? In a country where women-owned businesses receive only 2% of private equity funding, there's certainly room to do just that. In this episode, Kelly Ann Winget, founder & CEO of Alternative Wealth Partners, shares her wisdom on investing in alternatives and how women can both become savvier investors and attract more funding for their businesses.

Alternative Wealth Partners is a Dallas-based private equity company that manages diversified funds of alternative assets. An alternative investment is anything outside traditional assets – which are stocks, bonds and cash. Alternatives cover a broad range assets, such as oil and gas, real estate, crypto, venture investing, private equity, and collectibles, such as stamps or art.

Traditionally, private equity has a reputation of being complicated and exclusive. As Kelly explains it, this is because the industry lacks transparency, as well as diversity in the management. Kelly and her team seek to remove these barriers by allowing the public into the alternative investment space by making it understandable and accessible to Main Street investors.
