At Hackstons we are constantly watching the luxury and tangible sector, meticulously searching for areas our clients can take advantage of and therefore allow us to deliver them value. We feel whisky cask investment is a good option for this and, in our opinion, has embedded itself as a front runner amongst the physical assets that we offer our clients. Meanwhile aficionados are enjoying increasingly diverse releases of experimental whiskies.
Be it the security gained through ownership, the fact that whisky is free from Capital Gains Tax while maturing in the cask, or that it's relatively low maintenance, we are seeing a diverse range of hobbyists and investors who are adding a few drams to their collection or a whisky cask investment to their portfolios.
We are Account Managers that have personal experience in a multifarious range of collectibles, luxuries acquisition and alternative investment options.
Each member of our staff has their own specialisation in certain collectibles, whether that is cask whisky, luxury timepieces or gold coins.
However, for even the wealthiest getting these items can be extremely difficult. Most distilleries won’t open an account for you, most prestigious watch dealerships have long waiting lists and luxury auctions can be prohibitively expensive. By drawing upon our extensive and exclusive network of contacts we have helped our clients to attain the tangible items they desire!
In an economy that is becoming increasingly digitalised, where companies can exponentially rise in value through acquiring users despite not generating profit and in fact regularly reporting losses, we are seeing more and more investors who are being drawn back to tangible assets investing. We personally feel that it is easier to accurately predict the direction of something that mostly relies on the fundamentals of supply and demand.
We use our network to perform meticulous research and provide our clients with the opportunity to purchase scotch casks, timepieces, coins and classic cars that we feel have good mid-long term growth prospects.
