what should i invest in if i can't invest in stocks?

let's assume you can't time the market but you believe the specific asset selection is a core capability you have. let's also say your fund doesn't let you pick stocks for your own portfolio. what other ways can i exercise my investing ability to pick specific analyzable assets without doing it in the stock market? real estate is sort of one cliche area, but wondering if there are others.
