Wine Investment / M&A
Wine as an asset class has become a popular addition to pension, insurance and private investment funds over the last decade. Given the lack of correlation
with
traditional investments (such as gold, equity, oil etc.), and the often favourable tax treatment, wine offers an opportunity to not only balance the exposures in your
portfolio in a highly enjoyable and rewarding manner.
If you are looking to acquire a vineyard or a stake in an established wine business then we can help.
Hollywood stars from Sting, Madonna and Drew Barrymore are perfect examples of wealthy but passionate private individuals who take real pride in nurturing their vineyards, while AXA and others are well known institutional investors who have identified pure financial value in investing in wine production.
Johanna's experience with JP Morgan, Barclays Capital and HSBC Investment Bank, Paul’s experience in arranging Private Equity transactions and our love and understanding of wine and wine markets makes us powerful partners in this space.
Above all of this, our experience in the world of banking and finance before wine ensures we absolutely value two key things; transparency above everything else and appreciating that privacy is paramount.
Our advantage now having been out of the banking and finance eye for some years is that we are able to move and transact without the world watching, yet equally as well and perhaps with a small element of surprise. This attitude and ability we feel, now marries, as it should, the industry that we love today.
