Collectibles

Invest in collectibles

Diversify your portfolio with shares in companies acquiring works of art, watches, wine or classic cars.

Why

Why collectibles?

Access exceptional assets usually reserved for insiders.

Access extraordinary assets

Traditional investors rarely have the chance to diversify with collectibles. Beyond their often prohibitive prices, these goods are acquired at private auctions or through discreet transactions. On Caption, our experts constantly seek unique offerings and give you exclusive access to the assets you dream of.

Diversify your portfolio

Diversification remains a golden rule for reducing risk and optimising returns. If you have primarily invested in assets such as listed equities or bonds, collectibles offer a unique and exciting path to diversification. This type of investment is often uncorrelated with traditional financial markets, allowing you to better spread your risks.

Simplified management

Investing in collectibles involves a multitude of concerns ranging from secure storage to insurance, not to mention administrative formalities such as certificates of authenticity or expert appraisals. Caption takes care of all of this for you. We work with trusted partners and simplify all transactions by creating the necessary legal and financial structures.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

On Caption, you invest in the shares of a dedicated company acquiring a tangible asset (watch, wine, car, art). You access an investment memo, discuss with your private manager, then subscribe online. The asset is appraised, insured and stored by professionals.

According to the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index, collectibles have shown annualised performance of 16% over 10 years (overall index). However, past performance is not indicative of future results and invested capital is not guaranteed.

The entry ticket is EUR 10,000 for collectible deals. Investment duration is generally 12 to 36 months depending on the asset type and market conditions.

Four levels of security: authentication by an independent expert, professional storage (freeports, climate-controlled cellars, vaults), all-risk insurance at appraised value, and legal collateral (share pledges, asset liens).

Six categories: works of art (contemporary, modern, classical), collectible watches (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet), prestige cars, wine and spirits (grand crus, vintages), horses (thoroughbreds) and physical gold (bars, coins).

Collectible investments are inherently illiquid. The duration is defined in advance (12 to 36 months) and the exit depends on resale conditions on the secondary market. It is generally not possible to recover your capital before the planned maturity.
