Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades
If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…
Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?
CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(
Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:
It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.
It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*
It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.
And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.

2027 Political Cycle to Test Nigeria’s Economic Reforms, NESG Warns
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has identified the approaching 2027 political cycle as the most critical challenge to the sustainability of the federal government’s current economic reforms. In its 2026 Macroeconomic Outlook report, the think tank asserts that political interests leading up to the general elections may exert undue pressure on fiscal discipline and the implementation of market-driven policies.
Nigeria Targets $3 Billion Yearly Revenue Through New Carbon Market Framework
President Bola Tinubu has officially approved the establishment of the National Carbon Market Strategy, a regulatory framework designed to position Nigeria as a premier destination for carbon-related investments. The initiative aims to harness the country’s vast environmental assets to generate an estimated $3 billion in annual revenue by 2030. This move aligns with Nigeria’s commitment to the Energy Transition Plan and its broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
Nigeria Economic Outlook: NESG Forecasts ₦1,480 Exchange Rate Amidst Reserve Growth
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has projected that the Naira will trade at an average of ₦1,480 to the US Dollar in 2025, supported by an anticipated increase in foreign reserves to $52 billion. In its latest Macroeconomic Outlook report, the think tank highlights that improved foreign exchange inflows and stringent monetary policy will be the primary drivers of currency stability and economic resilience in the coming year.
MAN and Presidential Tax Committee Deliberate on New Tax Laws’ Impact on Manufacturing

The meeting, held on 16 January 2026, focused on ensuring that the implementation of these reforms supports manufacturing competitiveness while achieving the Federal Government’s revenue mobilisation targets.
