Why are more people turning to Passion Investing?

Next Article
Rare STAMPS

Rare STAMPS

1. Prices driven by passion not greed/fear cycle

2. Supply can only diminish over time

3. Pleasure and pride of ownership

4. Lower liquidity, provides less volatility

5. Low correlation with all other investments

6. Pension/succession planning

7. Tax planning

The areas of strongest demand and rising prices we would recommend for investment in 2023 are:

1. Luxury Watches – up 18% in 2022. Rolex and Patek Philippe cannot keep up with rising demand: creating waiting lists and driving everyone to the secondary market.

2 Coins – up 8% in 2022. Prices at auction constantly rising, driven primarily by passionate collectors and has always been a proven staple of the collectibles market.

The index was up 16% last year, illustrating its investment qualities as a hedge against high inflation. The index also outperformed against most mainstream investment classes, including equities and even gold.

Rising inflation, in particular, has attracted a rising number of wealthy individuals to turn to investments of passion to protect and grow their wealth in the current volatile economic and geo-political environment.

Historically, rare collectibles have delivered the highest returns in periods of high inflation. By way of example, the GB30 Rarities Index, which tracks the value of a basket of the rarest of British stamps, increased in value by over 600% between 1975 and 1980, the last period of high inflation experienced in the UK.

3. Rare Stamps – 50-year growth of c.10% compound per annum with a rising number of HNW collectors and investors attracted by the benefits of portability and long term rising values.

4. Autographs & Memorabilia – 10 year growth of 95%. Rising interest and prices from a new generation of younger buyers entering the market.
