Lesson Script
0:00-0:15
Hook
Visual
Open on the common miss pattern, then isolate the decision the candidate must make under time pressure.
Voiceover
If treating all alternatives as the same risk profile, this topic starts to feel bigger than it is. We are going to make the decision visible.
0:15-0:40
Visual Model
Visual
Alternative asset icons arrange by liquidity, transparency, valuation difficulty, and diversification behavior.

1:05-1:30
Trap Lab
Visual
Show two tempting answer paths, cross out the flawed one, and leave the reliable rule path on screen.

The tempting wrong answer usually comes from ignoring appraisal smoothing in real estate-style returns. We will name that trap before solving.
1:30-1:55
Repair Drill

Voiceover
Your repair rep after this lesson is simple: classify six alternatives by liquidity and valuation challenge.
Lesson Objective
Give candidates a quick classification map for alternatives and their portfolio use.
