side pocket

Pool table opening

A side pocket is one of the pockets along the rails of a pool or billiards table, positioned at the midpoint of each long side.

In finance, a side pocket is a separate account within a hedge fund used to segregate illiquid or hard-to-value assets from the main portfolio: The fund moved its distressed holdings into a side pocket.

On clothing, a side pocket sits at the hip rather than the front or back.
