we include sections on less common alternatives such as farmland and forestry, cleantech and any other alternative investments. Our most popular research on alternative asset classes tend to be large surveys and industry reports from management and investment consultants such as PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Cambridge Associates and Towers Watson. Preqin also feature strongly, as providers of investment reports across a number of alternative asset classes.
