My favourite investments are, by their nature, assimilative, niche, and distinctive: they manifest the unique characteristics of the markets in which they operate; they target a distinctive, significant market that’s either ignored or underserved by incumbents; and they have a special — even idiosyncratic — way of creating their value.
