Physical Asset Investments

Real estate investments are a vital component of a successful investment portfolio. As real estate returns have relatively low correlations with other asset classes, they provide diversification and risk minimization to a group of assets. With other benefits such as strong and consistent yields and inflation hedge, real estate investments provide investors with a well-balanced basket of wealth management and generation assets.

Citizenship or passport investment programs, especially those offered by Australia and EU countries, are gaining in popularity as the investor can literally purchase a citizenship, and all the rights and access that comes in tow. Investors reap a plethora of benefits from such investments, including travel ease with visa-free access, education benefits, business networks, and generational advantages as some programs extend to the entire family.

Wine

Demand for fine wine has increased enormously in recent years and the very finest wines are often produced in very limited quantities. A basic demand and supply curve when coupled with the ability for fine wine to age gracefully and become more and more desirable over time explains the superb gains that many fine wines have enjoyed over recent decades.

Whisky

Premium Single Malt whiskies form a collectable asset class with value appreciation primarily due to rarity.The large gap between limited supply and growing demand continues to drive up the value of premium whiskies. During the long recession of the 1980s production of whisky was reduced drastically and many distilleries were forced to shut down, hence creating a large demand especially from Asia and emerging markets.

Art

Art investments, like other collectibles, are fundamentally passion investments that provide owners with an aesthetic pleasure and enjoyment. Regardless, investing in fine art has the potential to reap significant monetary returns for investors because like real estate, it can be a hedge against stock market volatility and is not affected by market conditions. Moreover, as the quantity of fine art is limited and art valuations can skyrocket by variables such as the death of an artist, the potential upside for investors is limitless.
