A variety of economic factors and stock market volatility during the coronavirus pandemic helped establish music as an attractive asset class for institutional investors. With labels, publishers, institutional investors, and newly launched funds now competing for the same diminishing pool of evergreen catalogue, competition and prices are high. Investors need new strategies to stand out, opening pathways for specialisation in overlooked categories, like hip hop, and the evolution of more bespoke deal structures.
