Why Whiskey?
No Capital Gains Tax
Whisky is classed as a 'wasting asset'. This unique classification means that profits made from the sale of cask whisky are not subject to Capital Gains Tax.
Physical Asset Backed Investment
When you invest in cask whisky, you're investing in a tangible asset. Unlike stocks or bonds, which are paper assets and subject to volatility in the markets, physical assets like whisky casks hold intrinsic value. This can add a layer of security to the investment.
Not Correlated to Global Financial Markets
The value of cask whisky is largely unaffected by global financial market fluctuations. This is because the whisky marketoperates on its own unique dynamics - the scarcity and quality of whisky, the reputation of distilleries and global consumer demand. Therefore, cask whisky investments can act as a hedge against market volatility and offer portfolio diversification.
Easily Realized Asset
The global whisky market is vast and growing. This means that there is generally high liquidity in cask whisky investments, making them an easily realized asset. There's a significant market of buyers ready to snap up valuable casks.
Globally Increasing Demand
Whisky consumption is on the rise globally driven by emerging economies and a growing appreciation for premium spirits. As this demand increases so does the potential value of cask whisky. By investing in cask whisky, the fund is positioning itself to take advantage of this growing global trend. In summary, cask whisky investment offers unique benefits. It's tax-efficient, backed by a physical asset, immune to financial market fluctuations, easily realised and poised to capitalize on globally increasing demand. These advantages make it an attractive proposition for investors seeking diversification and robust potential returns.
