”One has to think outside the box and look at alternative more esoteric investment vehicles to diversify income streams. Royalty , infrastructure, renewable and enviromental spring to mind.”

Not sure why you would call investments related to infrastructure, renewables and environment “esoteric”.  Any passive investor, who owns the “total market” funds will have invested in these sectors. 

What do you mean by Royalty? Buying patents? 

Provide an example of a total market passive fund?

VTI. Anything representing FTSE All Share index.

Not sure that being "invested" achieves much in a such fund. If uncorrelated diversification is the aim.

That’s irrelevant. The point is that you suggested that “infrastructure” and “environment” are “alternative, esoteric” investments. That left me confused because most passive portfolios would automatically cover these sectors. How are they “alternative”? To what? 

Also, what exactly do you mean by “Royalties”?
