HNW (accredited/QC/QP) Investor Groups for discussion of Alternative Investments

I tried posting a version of this on another subreddit and was met with universally negative reactions.

Basically, as a HNWI, given current public market valuations, I have been diversifying my portfolio away from pure ETFs of public stocks (which still constitute a majority of my holdings).

Longer term, Private equity has outperformed public markets. Even Vanguard thinks next ten years PE will outperform US equities ( [https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/dam/corp/research/pdf/vanguard\_2025\_midyear\_private\_equity\_review\_and\_outlook.pdf](https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/dam/corp/research/pdf/vanguard_2025_midyear_private_equity_review_and_outlook.pdf) ).

Additionally, private real estate income is tax advantaged. Given the real estate downturn since rise in interest rates, I think it's not a bad time to allocate more to commercial real estate. Distributions are offset by depreciation. You keep rolling to bigger syndications (in my case because I don't ever want to actively manage anything) with bigger distributions. [https://www.therealestatecrowdfundingreview.com/post/2018/02/12/how-to-invest-in-passive-real-estate-without-paying-a-penny-of-tax-legally-part-2-defer-d](https://www.therealestatecrowdfundingreview.com/post/2018/02/12/how-to-invest-in-passive-real-estate-without-paying-a-penny-of-tax-legally-part-2-defer-d)

The issue is with private markets there's information and access inefficiencies which have mostly disappeared with public markets. **To learn about alts and to get access to deal flow I have joined some groups but would appreciate if others have more suggestions.** Here's my opinion of the groups I have tried out:

506 Investor Group ( [https://506investorgroup.com/](https://506investorgroup.com/) ): This in my opinion is the best of the bunch. They don't allow sponsors in. Investors discuss deal flow freely. It is free to join. They get discounts with several sponsors on fees. And they have an RIA ( [https://cornerstonealternatives.com/](https://cornerstonealternatives.com/) ) which only charges .25% fee for access to Private Equity, Private Credit etc.

Private Investor Club ( [https://www.privateinvestorclub.com/](https://www.privateinvestorclub.com/) ): This group is also free. You learn a lot here as well from other members and see various deals. They do run some feeders but most of the discussions here are not about the feeders. Basically, mostly investors helping other investors with due Diligence.

Passive Pockets ( [https://passivepockets.com/](https://passivepockets.com/) ): This one charges an annual fee. I have found the deal flow and discussions sub par so I didn't renew. Many of the sponsors who advertise with them are also subpar (they seem to have a higher miss rate than the other groups but obviously with real estate downturn there have been a lot more misses).

Boulder Investor Group ( [https://boulderinvestmentgroup.com/](https://boulderinvestmentgroup.com/) ): This one has a small fee to join but is then free. They have around a deal or two a month often at preferred terms. I believe they get a fee from the sponsors who present to the group. Deals are not bad though but I have not yet invested.

LongAngle ( [https://www.longangle.com/](https://www.longangle.com/) ) : This one is more lifestyle focused but they do have an offering or so a month. It is also free to join unless you want to pay extra for premier membership. They only allow discussion of their own feeders. They charge 1.27% for their feeders some of which are the same things you get from Cornerstone above for .25%. But the discussions are mostly not about the deals.

All of these groups have some sort of vetting. LongAngle vets for net worth, 506 and PIC to make sure you're not a sponsor, etc.

I also jointed the LP-GP mailing list mostly to see more deals but frankly most of those deals have not been great.

Anyway, **I appreciate if others suggestions for other groups to join.**
