The Search for Returns: Niche Investment Strategies
Niche Strategy Investing could be defined as any investment that doesn’t fit neatly into a defined category or traditional set of parameters. It requires unique expertise and sophistication to pursue it, to manage it and to evaluate it. It’s likely to involve investments that are harder to understand, complex, go against traditional norms/ trends and are often private and relatively illiquid.
