Investing with limited risk: whisky as an option
Investing without any risk does not exist. Anyone who has looked into investing knows that risk is part of almost every investment. The value of shares, for example, can fluctuate greatly, and the same applies to whisky: a return can never be guaranteed with complete certainty. The experts at Scotch Whisky Investments can point you to an alternative asset class with a different risk profile than shares: investing in whisky. How does the risk of whisky compare to other investments, and how does it work exactly? The specialists at Scotch Whisky Investments are happy to explain.
Exponential rise in value of Scotch single malt
Whisky, especially Scotch single malt whisky, has attracted a new audience among serious investors in recent years. Scotch single malt whisky from 25 years old onwards has historically risen strongly in value, and research into whiskies sold between 1936 and 2007 shows an average annual increase in value of 6.6%. That is a historical average, not a guarantee for the future: prices can also fall. Compared to shares, whisky has a different risk profile, partly due to its low correlation with the stock market, but that does not make it a risk-free investment.
The demand for Scotch single malt whisky keeps rising, while at least 25-year-old whisky is and will remain a scarce product, as it cannot be produced faster than in 25 years. The rising demand and scarcity of the product, combined with its low correlation with other financial markets, mean that the price of Scotch single malt whisky has historically fluctuated less than the prices of, say, listed shares. That can contribute to a relatively stable annual return, although this investment remains subject to risks such as limited liquidity and a long investment horizon.
