Share this page10 Reasons to Invest in Collectibles
The Top Ten reasons
Why Collectibles Investments are very profitable
1. The current low interest environment represents a real opportunity to build a collection of valuable collectibles for long term value.
2. Now is the time to invest with confidence, and create a safe haven for your wealth, in the knowledge that many collectible assets have the added advantage of being termed as "wasting assets", and do not come into Inheritance or Capital Gains Tax calculations.
3. Unique collectibles have historically been considered a 'safe haven'. They have a low correlation with traditional financial investments. They are tangible, you can hold them, and they will always hold value.
4. World record prices are being achieved every day, despite the recession. With clients in 212 countries around the world www.paulfrasercollectibles.com has breaking news, investment advice, and expert interviews throughout the day to enable you to make informed decisions.
5. There are estimated to be 200 million serious collectors' worldwide underpinning prices.
6. The population of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) is set to double in the next 40 years (With a rise in middle classes by between 1 and 2 Billion), accompanied by a huge increase in disposable income. History shows these people will be looking to buy the collectibles and artefacts that have left their country over the years, with a desire to repatriate them to their homeland.
7. The "Baby boomer" generation is making its way through the system; there are an estimated 80 million just starting to retire in the US alone, at an average of 75,000 a week for the next 20 years (15,000 per week in the UK). This generation is now responsible for 80% of the World's wealth. They are living longer, with a higher disposable income, and with time on their hands to pursue collecting in a serious way.
8. Many institutional Funds have been created in collectibles in the last few years...with many more waiting in the wings. Some of these are determined to be large Funds, and when they start buying in certain specialist areas it will add significantly to the pressure on prices and the shortage of high-end collectibles and unique pieces.
9. Collectibles as part of your overall investment portfolio give you greater personal control over allocating and preserving your wealth, and the ability to manage the process yourself, which gives you confidence where it has been lost in the bigger financial product areas.
