With auction prices on the rise, whiskey enthusiasts from across the work are increasingly turning to liquid gold as an investment. Now investors with a passion for ‘the water of life’ have an opportunity to invest in the world’s first regulated single malt whiskey fund.
Launched by Swedish whiskey enthusiast, Christian Svantesson, The Single Malt Fund provides investors with the opportunity to indirectly own a small part of a large collection of rare and limited-edition whiskies. The Fund’s operational HQ will be located in Dublin.
According to founder Christian Svantesson the Fund has been launched on the back of soaring demand for rare whisky from investors, connoisseurs and collectors across the world. “The Single Malt Fund is created for whiskey enthusiasts and others who want to invest in rare whiskey. When selling, the fund will first offer its limited rare whiskey to its investors, giving them access to selected rare whiskey which is very hard to come by without the right knowledge and contacts. With global demand for rare whiskey continuing to soar, I hope that our fund will make the rare whiskey market more inclusive and accessible for even more rare whiskey enthusiasts.”
In addition to investing in the fund, whiskey fans will also have the opportunity to buy single bottles from the fund’s online inventory as the fund realises its investments. Sales will be managed through its own website, where rare whiskey will be made available to investors before going up for sale on the open market.
“My inspiration for the fund comes from my own passion for single malt whiskey. While being listed in Stockholm, I believe we will have 5-6 people employed in Dublin by the end of the year, managing the fund’s investments and operations. We are happy to come to Dublin, as Ireland not only has a ‘corporate friendly’ environment and legislation, but also being the birthplace for whiskey it is the perfect place for us to act from!”
The Fund is scheduled to liquidate after six years, offering a target return rate of 10% per annum.
