That was one of the takeaways from the Sohn Investment Conference, an annual event held in New York City to raise money for pediatric cancer care and research. Hedge fund managers, venture capitalists and other big investors took the stage at Lincoln Center on May 8 to present some of their best ideas, offering tips on what to buy and what to sell short (a technique for profiting off falling share prices).

Some of these ideas may be too esoteric, or risky, for most investors. One fund manager pitched the idea of profiting off non-performing Italian loans by buying shares in Italian bank UniCredit.
