In economics and finance,
a Taleb distribution is the statistical profile of an investment which
normally provides a payoff of small positive returns, while carrying a small but
significant risk of catastrophic losses.

The term was coined by journalist Martin Wolf and economist John Kay to
describe investments with a "high probability of a modest gain and
a low probability of huge losses in any period."[1]
