Do the big institutions dominate the action on SecondMarket? Not quite! In dollar terms, close to half of the year’s transaction (through the end of June) came from accredited investors. By transaction, it was more than half. Hedge funds committed disproportionate dollar amounts relative to the number of transactions, and asset managers were fairly active.
It’s all about social media and the consumer web: 39.2 percent of buyer interest and 34 percent of seller interest fall into this category. Retailing and commerce comes next, while travel and business products and services anchor the other end of the spectrum.
When starting to invest, understanding your risk tolerance, time horizon and desired returns are imperative for determining your optimal portfolio allocation mix. One such area that I especially find interesting is looking at investment returns by allocation.

Investing in Fine Wine as a Liquid Asset
People have been investing in Fine Wines for hundreds of years. However until now, like Fine Art and Antiques,
you would either have to be an expert on the subject or be prepared to make expensive mistakes when entering
the market purely for monetary gain.
Premier Cru was formed with the specific intention of offering structured investments to ordinary people with little
or no knowledge of Fine Wines.
The idea of creating a pure investment company of this kind came in 1992 when one of the founder members of
Premier Cru was introduced to a National Insurance Contributions discount scheme utilising Fine Wine. Due to
the stability of the wine markets, it was possible to offer prospective clients a guarantee that they would receive
100% of quoted values. Other companies had been using Gold and Diamonds.
A French phrase, which indicates the wine to which it is applied, has been produced under the strict supervision of the Institut D'Appellations d'Origine, and has been made from grapes grown in a specific area of France. The first Appellation was set up in 1936 in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Since then the system has been extended throughout France and now covers some 30% of total wine production, including the wines made in the west.

Grapes, like all other fruits depend on ideal weather conditions to produce a good, sweet, juicy crop. France, like England has erratic and unpredictable weather. A truly magnificent wine can only be produced in ideal weather conditions. From the time the vine starts to bud in late April to the harvest in September or October, every drop of
rain, every hour of sunshine and every degree of heat has its eventual effect on the quality and character of the
wine. Hence the special uniqueness of each Vintage.

The history of a wine bottle – at a glance
high fill: normal fill. Level of young wines. Exceptionally good in wines over 10 years old.
into neck: can be level of fill. Perfectly good for any age of wine. Outstandingly good for a wine of 10 years in bottle.
top-shoulder: normal level for any claret 15 years old or older.
upper-shoulder: slight natural reduction through easing of cork and evaporation through cork and capsule.
Usually no problem. Acceptable for any wine over 20 years old. Exceptional for pre-1940 wines.
mid-shoulder: probably some weakening of the cork and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30/40 years of age. Estimates usually take this into account.
Lower-mid-shoulder: some risk. Low estimates, usually no reserve.
Low-shoulder: risky and usually only accepted for sale if wine or label exceptionally rare or interesting. Always
offered without reserve and low estimate.
Below low-shoulder: not acceptable for sale unless a rare sort of bottle. Wine will usually be undrinkable.

As soon as the wine is ready to drink stocks start to diminish. Wines good enough to be used as an investment will usually have a life span of 40 to 49 years, some may last even longer. An excellent wine will take approximately 5 to 7 years (average) before it has matured enough to be drinkable, however most connoisseurs will wait until the wine
has reached its optimum drinkable level, usually when the wine is approximately 12 to 18 years old. The wine will
then carry on maturing in the bottle getting better and better as the years pass, right up until the end of its life when
it will quite suddenly, (in comparison to its life span) 'go off'. Or as it is better known in the wine world as 'Over the Hill'.
As we all know, an increasing demand (due to increasing quality and rarity) together with a decreasing supply (due
to consumption) creates the basis for a very successful and stable market.
With our panel of experts we are able to predict when specific top class wines will mature and when they will reach
the end of their prime drinking life. We are able to offer structured investments, with varying degrees of risk, to mature
at specific times.
