AS FEATURED IN
The key benefits of investing 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.
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.
