It’s the final episode of our Best Investing Ideas for FY26 series! And we’re bringing something a little different for your consideration.

Stepping beyond the usual suspects (cash, stocks, and bonds), we pitch 4 alternative assets that we’re watching as FY26 kicks off.

These are ideas that might fly under your radar but could add meaningful growth and diversification to your portfolio.

We cover:

• What alternative assets actually are and why they’re worth considering
• How to get access to these opportunities, even with a small budget
• Why these ideas made our personal watch lists for the new financial year

Bryce picks:

• Ways to invest in private equity that are more accessible than ever
• The cryptocurrency that makes up 10% of his portfolio

Ren picks:

• A tried and tested commodity that shines during economic uncertainty
• A unique corner of Australian property that’s quietly delivered over 200% growth in two decades
