Most investors understand shares, bonds and property. Far fewer understand royalties, and how to make money from Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, or blockbuster healthcare treatments.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Stephen Otter, Head of Royalties at Partners Group, about an asset class worth an estimated $2 trillion globally. Stephen explains how investors can generate income from everything from pharmaceutical treatments and natural gas production to music catalogues, films and intellectual property - but also why predicting the future remains one of the biggest risks in royalties investing.
