What you need to know about Holy grail distribution.

This distribution has a positive mean and a right fat tail. This means it displays the returns profile of an investment vehicle that produces small returns centred on zero and sometimes exhibits outsized positive returns. Usually, the distribution of historical returns of most asset classes is negatively skewed, showing a fat left tail. Tails on the left and right represent the least likely outcomes. A long-term investor aims to minimise left tail risk without losing out on right tail growth.
