An unethical investment that generates profits for the investor. A guilt-edged investment is a colloquial term for an investment or transaction that should inherently produce feelings of guilt or remorse in the investor who engaged in unethical or illegal investment activities. Not all who engage in guilt-edged investment activities, however, feel any remorse in doing so. Typically, a guilt-edged investment involves a transaction in which one person takes advantage of another, thereby profiting through the unscrupulous investment activity. The term is a play on words for gilt-edged securities (high-grade bonds issued by governments or firms). [Source:http://www.investopedia.com]
