Whisky investment is becoming an increasing tasty option for your portfolio. We meet Christian Svantesson, the founder and CEO of the Single Malt Fund – and learn how you can get involved, too

UK – The Single Malt Fund, supervised by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and listed on the Nordic Growth Market (NGM) exchange in Stockholm has launched in the UK aiming to raise €25million (US$26.6m).

Founded by Swedish whiskey enthusiast, Christian Svantesson, The Single Malf Fund provides investors with the opportunity to indirectly own a portion of a large collection of rare and limited-edition whiskies.

The Single Malt Fund launches as a way to invest in exceptional whiskies and earn a return. 

It is no secret that some of the world’s rarest single-malt whiskies have been fetching astronomical prices. In January 2014, Sotheby’s Hong Kong auctioned off a 6-liter Lalique crystal decanter of Macallan Imperiale M—one of only four in the world—for a record-setting $631,855.

It’s pretty clear that the luxury-whisky industry is in the midst of a boom.

Bottle prices repeatedly hit record numbers, and a new report from whisky market analysts Rare Whisky 101 reveals that the rare-whisky U.K. market hit £25 million in sales through auction sites in 2017, the highest number yet.

Whisky enthusiasts are being given the chance to get in on the booming demand for liquid gold with the launch of what is described as the first regulated single malt whisky fund.

Set up by Christian Svantesson, a Swedish whisky enthusiast, the Single Malt Fund provides investors with the opportunity indirectly to own part of a large collection of rare whiskies.

Fund is targeting a return rate of 10 per cent each year

For years, individuals with cash to splash have had the opportunity to invest in funds dedicated to vintage cars and fine art as well as the more prosaic options of stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities.

Launched by Swedish whisky enthusiast, Christian Svantesson, has launched the world’s first regulated single malt whisky investment fund, providing investors with the opportunity to indirectly own a small part of a large collection of rare and limited-edition whiskies.

If you know the struggle of staring at an empty bank balance after a night out, you must be convinced that all alcohol can do is empty out your pockets.

Except now thanks to some Swedish geniuses who decided to take charge of things and, well, basically help you get rich. With alcohol. Say hello to The Single Malt Fund, which may sound suspiciously similar to that ’Old Monk Fund’ you have stashed away in the smallest compartment of your wallet for the last week of the month but isn’t.

Now you can buy into the world’s first publicly traded whiskey investment fund.

The Single Malt Fund is a unique investment opportunity where investors can opt to own
a small part of a large collection of rare and limited-edition whiskeys. Unlike similar funds
that invest in the whiskey companies, this one invests in the actual liquid.

A band of Swedish scotch enthusiasts has opted out of the traditional (and non-traditional for that matter) money game. Instead, they’ve chosen to go for something a little more out of pocket. The investment? Whisky. The ultra rare and limited kind. A whole lot of it. This unorthodox investment fund which has been approved by the Swedish financial watchdog as an alternative investment fund. And diverges from the current NYSE-listed funds which invests in the actual companies that produce whisky itself.

A way to invest in “liquid gold.”

It’s tough to know where to invest your hard-earned cash these days. But if you’ve got a hankering for fine scotch, you might want to keep an eye on The Single Malt Fund, the world’s first publicly traded whiskey investment vehicle.
