Where the small are mighty
There are very few markets where DIY investors enjoy a clear advantage over everyone else. In many cases we are becoming more disadvantaged thanks, for example, to new regulations (known as “Mifid II”) that are making it even harder to access professional investment research into smaller companies. But in one area—Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending and unlisted bonds—circumstances have conspired to give the DIY brigade a very attractive and little-appreciated opportunity.
