The The purpose of this report is to provide readers with an initial understanding of the wide range of other financial alternative investments, including old-line limited partnerships, stock market & individual stock options, folios, structured debt, treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS), bank loan funds, catastrophe bonds, stable value & principal protected funds, structured settlements, & commodity & financial futures. The report addresses this wide range of investment options, their markets & distribution channels, & predictions for their future use. This is the third draft of Tiburon's research on this topic.

Tiburon's first draft of this report was published in 2000; that draft consolidated prior Tiburon research into one report and that version was actually a broad report addressing hedge funds, venture capital & private equity, real estate, & other alternative investments.

Tiburon's second draft of this report was published in 2007; that draft unbundled both other financial & non-financial alternative investments from Tiburon's other equally thorough research reports on hedge funds, venture capital & private equity, & real estate. That draft also included some tightening of the storyline, updating & reconciling of some data, and the initial steps of building a company level appendix.

This is Tiburon's third draft of this report. This draft unbundles Tiburon's equally thorough research report on other non-financial alternative investments, refines the

appendix, and furthers the profiles of some core Tiburon clients, including Foliofn.
