Expectations in traditional investments are greatly mitigated by interest rate levels that are difficult to exceed. The typical investor turns to assets that are considered conservative, such as government debt bonds, bonds of large corporations, as well as a narrow choice of stocks with high trading volumes.
Then there are the so-called safe-haven investments: among these we include the investment in precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and that in precious stones. Luxury investments are popular among individuals looking for safety and high returns.
These assets are characterized by an inverse proportionality with respect to the return of the stock market: when the latter contracts, in fact, this is a symptom of a risk aversion of investors, who therefore tend to “take refuge” in the so-called safe haven investments, waiting for good opportunities to enter the most dynamic market (the stock market, in fact).
But still too few operators in the sector speak of a “happy island” of alternative investment: that in collectible spirits.
In the investment of investment-grade spirits, a distinction must be made between “loose” spirits, i.e. not yet bottled but stored in barrels, and those already packaged by the prestigious distillery.
The former can easily be subject to sophistication and manipulation of the product, as the investor does not have certain proof of what he is buying. In the case of luxury investments in bottles of rare and ultra-rare spirits, on the other hand, the seal that establishes originality is the uniqueness of the piece purchased, and inherent in the bottle, which has been packaged by the distillery.
The security of the investment in rare bottles is guaranteed by the custody of the collections in tax warehouses, under constantly controlled environmental conditions and inaccessible except to authorized subjects.
An undoubted advantage of investing in bottles of high-quality spirits is that they are not taxable in many countries, as this form of investment is legally considered a purchase and sale of physical goods. Another point in favor of this luxury investment is the very high liquidability of the pieces that make up the collections, due to the scarcity of availability: remember that investment-grade bottles are editions by the most exclusive distilleries, ranging from a single piece up to a maximum of 500 bottles and which, of course, over the years are subject to reduction due to consumption or within from the market (read private collections).
In a nutshell, the value of a bottle, from the date of its launch, can only increase.
The insensitivity to geopolitical and financial market factors, as well as currency inflation, makes investing in bottles of fine spirits a safe haven asset par excellence, and for this reason for more than a decade now there has been a real race to grab the best collections.
The Spirits Club does what privately the investor would find very difficult to do in time: select and buy the bottles at the best price, thanks to representatives who expected auctions all over the world, to increase its stock and offer the customer a wide offer for the most varied profit needs. This is a massive help with getting started with luxury investments.
Investing with The Spirits Club is free from errors of valuation, as the investor is constantly supported by his personal portfolio manager, who will advise him when to buy and sell his own spirits bottle collection, and when it will be the right time for a possible increase in investment.
The Spirits Club takes care of repositioning the bottles you intend to sell on the market, without the risk of holding an illiquid position.
