Nice looking chart you got there. How’d you do it?
Hedonova: “Alternative investments.”
Thanks to investments in litigation financing, real estate, startups and other alternatives — Hedonova has outperformed the S&P 500 by more than three times.

Going deeper: Despite the market downturn, Hedonova has been able to beat the market with investments like:
1/ Litigation financing: This has become one of the hottest investments in recent years. Hedonova finances commercial lawsuits and gets a share of the settlement money.
2/ Startups: They specialize in pre-IPO startups — giving investors access to unicorn startups (>$1B valuation) that are typically available only to venture capitalists and institutional investors.


3/ Equipment financing: Hedonova has specialized in leasing medical equipment to hospitals (i.e., MRI machines, robotic surgical arms), focusing on the Asian healthcare sector as a strong growth area.
