How does it compare to other major assets?
In 2022, fine wine has been stable in the face of increasingly severe headwinds. Fine wine is an inherently low volatility investment. This gives it advantages over mainstream assets especially in turbulent economic times. In 2022 it proved its worth, with the Liv-ex Fine Wine 1000 hitting new highs with a +13.1% index performance, whilst S&P dropped by more than 17% over the same period.
At Cru Wine, we believe that fine wine can form a permanent component of a long-term investment portfolio with the potential to deliver positive returns through shifts in inflation and other economic downturns.
Why you should invest in fine wine
Solid Returns:
In the last 10 years, fine wine has seen a growth of 137% and the market has returned 7.3% on average per annum.
Asset Backed Investment:
Fine wine has an inherent, physical value, which can act as a safe haven for investors during periods of economic uncertainty.
Low Risk & Stable Returns:
Low historical volatility helps de risk the overall investment portfolio and, with a stable return profile, improve risk adjusted returns.
Low Correlation to Traditional Assets:
Which means wine can provide protection in market downturns and act as a hedge against inflation.
Tax Efficiency:
Wine is considered a wasting asset, generally qualifying for exemption from Capital Gains Tax in the UK.
Ever Growing Demand:
A finite supply of fine wine drives pricing on the secondary market and creates a compelling investment opportunity.
