Wall Street is experiencing a surge in the issuance of complex financial products, marking the fastest pace since 2007, just before the global financial crisis. This boom is driven by investors' strong demand for high-yield returns, leading to the expansion of exotic securities backed by unconventional assets such as chicken wings, music catalogs, and oil revenues. Some investors have been criticized for purchasing these products without thorough scrutiny, earning the label 'programmatic buyers.'
