Cherry picking

Cherry picking

Cherry picking is the act of selectively choosing something. In investing, some investors and fund managers may choose securities that have performed well in another portfolio, rather than making the selection by way of thoroughly researching an entire category of securities. In bankruptcy, the courts might "cherry pick" the contracts that benefit the insolvent company, while eliminating the contracts that do not.
