  7. Philanthropy and Impact Investing: seeks positive social or environmental outcomes alongside financial returns. 

  8. Direct Investments: Investing directly in companies or projects for attractive returns. 

  9. Market Timing and Tactical Allocation: Adjusting allocations based on market conditions to seize opportunities or minimize risks.
