“Exotic Alternative Investments” – Dr. Kevin Mirabile
Dr. MIrabile, a professor of finance @ Fordham University, tells us about his recent book, “Exotic Alternative Investments” and it is fascinating. Taking the subject well beyond the usual “Liquid Alts” he delves into far less known categories of “Alternative Investments’ and discusses their strengths, weaknesses and the pros and cons of over 20 different categories of exotics. He touches on the categories of Intellectual Property, Tax Credits, Aircraft Leases, Trade Claims, eSports, Gaming Franchises, Water Rights, Timber, Air Rights, Litigation Finance and many others. A first of its kind, his book is fascinating, as is the interview. We hope you enjoy it.
