Do you feel clueless about the stock market? Already invested in equities but itching to diversify? Here are four companies that provide alternative investment opportunities that may pique your interest. These investments come with unusual risks, they’re not for everyone, and we’re certainly not endorsing or recommending any of them. Prospective investors should do their homework and even consult a financial advisor before thinking about getting into these.

Fundrise

• Minimum investment: $1000

• Don’t need to be an accredited investor (accredited investors need to have a net worth exceeding $1 million OR your income over each of the last two years must exceed $200,000)

Fundrise is a real estate crowdfunding platform that’s attempting to get rid of barriers to entry for those who want to invest in real estate but don’t have the know-how or capital to do it on their own. Fundrise focuses on midsize assets, which they claim provide opportunities better risk-adjusted returns (and is less competitive than large institutional properties). Last year, the company launched the first ever online real estate investment trusts (eREITs) — one focused on debt assets and the other on equity. A REIT is modeled after a mutual fund, which means the company is actively managing the properties, while you can lean back and take a passive role as investor. And so far, it’s paid off: the debt REIT has a return of 11% and equity has an 8% payout, according to Fundrise COO Brandon Jenkins. The huge upside? You don’t need to be a baller to invest in an eREIT because of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s Regulation A+, which allows small companies to offer and sell up to $50 million of securities over a year to non-accredited investors. But you do have to join the long line of investors wanting to take a piece of the pie — 70,000 people are on the waitlist to invest in one of Fundrise’s REITs, says Jenkins. “We are scaling up to meet the demand.” Fundrise’s eREITs have raised more than $70 million from individual investors and is planning to launch additional funds this fall.

Wunder Capital

• Minimum investment: $1000

• Must be an accredited investor

Wunder Capital develops and manages commercial solar projects across the country. They actively manage the underwriting, contracting, construction, operations and maintenance of each project. For those looking for a potentially lucrative yet socially conscious investment, solar investment funds like Wunder Capital could be a potential option. Despite being the generation to hold this value system, most millennials — even if they do have the $1000 — aren’t allowed on the platform because they aren’t rich enough. That’s because the SEC, under Regulation D, mandates that only those who are financially stable enough (accredited investors) can partake in these investments. “Right now we’re mainly seeing middle-aged folks, venture capitalists, lawyers, and doctors. Our demographic definitely skews a little older. That’s why we’re spending dollars to try and expand to all investors,” he told Yahoo Finance.
