WHY INVEST IN COLLECTIBLE CARS?
Asset Backed
Cars have inherent value and cannot go bankrupt, they can also be traded globally, adding robustness to any well-diversified portfolio and a secure choice for investments.
Capital Gains Tax Free
Returns from classic car investments are exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK.
True Diversification
Car investments have low annualised volatility (<10%) and minimal market correlation; giving a diversification option over traditional assets such as real estate, commodities, and global equities.
Strong Returns
The outstanding 10-year returns of 185%* surpass other passion assets like wine and watches. Classic car investments are resilient to inflation.
