Diversifying Your Financial Portfolio

We’ve all seen the commercials, had the 401K meetings and read about investing our money wisely or making our money work for us. There are always new and exciting ways to make our money work for us. Have you ever thought of diversifying your portfolio with wine? In fact, wine has consistently outperformed the Global Equity Index over the past 15 years at an annual rate of 1.88%. Making the decision to start collecting fine wine is a wise way to protect your wealth.

There are several factors that make wine an intelligent choice for expanding your portfolio, but the key elements are scarcity, aging, and brand equity. Using wine to protect your wealth may seem strange, but in reality, it’s a safer avenue than buying

and selling shares. Fine wines are produced in limited quantities, making them highly desirable and harder to come by, meaning that having a portion of your wealth in wine gives you access to wines you usually would not have access to. “Aged like a fine wine,” we’re sure you’ve heard that a time or two in your life, and it’s true, fine wine is built to age gracefully, giving them a more sustainable lifecycle and delicious return than other asset allocation avenues. Some wine brands are nearly as famous as iconic designer brands like Chanel, Dior, or Louis Vuitton. Think Screaming Eagle, Dom Perignon, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or Opus One; these are all wine brands that sit amongst the most elite names in the industry, thus, making them highly desirable and status symbols if you own or have enjoyed them. If you decide to include these brands in your portfolio, you’re introducing yourself to wines that have commanded six-figure price tags.
