Spin-off investing is a strategy that can lead to outsized returns. Joel Greenblatt and Charlie Munger, two well-known value investors, have both spoken about the potential of spin-offs. So what is a spin-off? And what should you look for if you're interested in this strategy? A spin-off is a type of corporate restructuring where a company splits off a portion of its business into a new, independently-operated company. There are a few different reasons why a company might do this, but usually, it's to unlock value that was hidden within the parent company. For example, a company might have a division that is significantly underperforming the rest of the business. By spinning that division off into a separate company, the parent company can focus on its core business and the new company can try to turn things around.
