I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of "assets" and what makes an asset class investable or not. This lead me to build a few investment reports for alternative assets (think: wine, Pokemon cards, art, comic books, sneakers, etc.).
The first two reports were Wine [1] and Pokemon Cards [2]. I'm currently working on the third edition, Fine Art.

- bansuian 2y agoInteresting, so what makes an asset class investable or not? For me I think its will there be a continuing market given that it requires adult participation. I think Pokemon will no long be as there is a need for attachment when young and kids these days have more alternatives.
- supplied_demand 2y agoThanks for responding. I actually tried to build an economic framework to determine what makes an investable asset class. I came up with the following 4 major areas, with each having 2 sub-areas. 1. Stability = Portfolio Balance + Asset Durability 2. Liquidity = Marketplaces + Intermediaries 3. Transparency = Price Transparency + Regulators 4. Liability = Tax Treatment + Maintenance Costs
