How to Build a Collection

Our Build a Collection option offers the lowest entry level to investors wishing to diversify into the rewarding world of unique collectibles.

It is the perfect way to build a valuable collection, in a non-correlated asset class, that offers long term investment potential plus the enjoyment and pleasure of becoming the custodian of a unique piece of history. 

Build a Collection gives you the ability to make monthly or quarterly contributions to an account which will be used to finance an investment in unique collectibles. This option also gives you the opportunity to create an investment tailored to your personal requirements over the forthcoming years. 

You can also invest in the knowledge that the experts at Paul Fraser Collectibles are on hand to assist you at all times.

Build a Collection with Paul Fraser Collectibles offers:

  • Expert knowledge and advice
  • Free storage and handling 
  • No hidden charges
  • No obligation to purchase
  • Absolute flexibility to buy and sell at your discretion

Given the nature of the collectibles markets we recommend a minimum 5 years holding period, to allow your collection to maximise its growth potential.

It's generally accepted that the longer you hold the better you will do as more collectors, and emerging economies, enter the collectibles markets. You can read more about the demographics behind the markets here

Our experts will give full guidance on the rarest, most desirable items available for investment at any given time.

Our unique news service and worldwide network of contacts enables us to recommend undervalued areas and growth markets.

You will also benefit from insightful interviews and impartial advice from the world's leading experts in each field.

You can have this advice for free as there is absolutely no obligation to purchase.

You may even wish to select items of your own accord. Again, we're pleased to provide impartial advice on the best areas of collectibles investment to suit your investment goals, and help you achieve them.

When it comes to selling we will again be able to advise you on the best exit route. Whether we make you a direct offer, or introduce you to representatives of an auction house that is achieving exceptional results in your chosen area. 

You see, we are in business for the long-term, and our expertise is in building long-term relationships with our clients.

  • There is no fixed term contract, however we advise a minimum 5 year view
  • We request a minimum £100 per month direct debit to allow a well balanced portfolio
  • You also have the option to make an initial upfront investment to kick start your collection
  • There is no maximum investment
  • Paul Fraser Collectibles will work with you to build a valuable collection with every opportunity for future growth

  • Paul Fraser Collectibles will advise on your most profitable exit route through in depth discussions with our worldwide network of contacts, or a direct offer to buy

As you will see in our news section the average return through all areas of high-end collectibles has historically been around 10% per annum.

We all know past performance is no guarantee of future performance. However the simple fact is a unique and valuable collectible, with the correct storage and handling, will never do an Enron. It will never lose its value.

There are already many investment funds operating in the collectibles markets. Coins, rare stamps, violins, art - they all have dedicated funds charging management fees.

Fund managers have seen the benefits of the collectibles markets.

Our Build a Collection investment option allows you to invest directly, bypassing the fees that other companies charge.

You will also get access to the world's leading experts, with no hidden charges and no management fees:

  • Total control of your finances
  • Protection from the vagaries of the stock market
  • No hidden charges
  • No management fees
  • Expert advice and assistance on entry and exit
  • Collectibles markets offer impressive historical returns
  • Economic and demographic forecasts support a profitable return in the future
  • Tax planning advantages

You can start building a collection at any time.

A minimum investment of £1,000 followed by quarterly payments of £500 will result in a total investment of £61,000 over the next 30 years.

If high-end collectibles continue to compound in price by 10% per annum, then £61,000 paid over 30 years will appreciate to over £380,000.

Even if no further monies are paid in the collection would continue to grow at £38,000 per annum, again compounded.

Many people use collectibles to finance school or university fees for their children. An initial investment of £10,000 followed by quarterly payments of £1,000 (£82,000 total investment) would give your children a pot of over £250,000 in 18 years time, assuming a 10% growth each year. 

Collectibles offer a significant hedge against inflation, and a tangible asset that performs independently of other markets like stock and property.

This can safeguard your overall wealth, helps to diversify your assets, and is a safe haven investment showing excellent profit contribution on a regular and consistent basis.

The Build a Collection investment option gives you tremendous flexibility and control, and allows you to enjoy and hold a significant part of your long-term wealth, and see that your pension pot is very tangible, and growing as an asset.  

And you can sell at any time.

In 30 years time your collection could comprise dozens of desirable items.

You may wish to sell an item to pay school or university fees. Simply contact us and we will obtain the best possible price via our unique network of worldwide contacts.

As gains from collectibles are classified as capital gains there are also tax planning advantages to an investment in collectibles, giving you additional flexibility to manage your tax liabilities.

Indeed, many collectibles are regarded as wasting chattels meaning there is no capital gains tax to pay. 

We are just a phone call away for any questions you may have, or send us an email, but please act today, and start to be part of an asset class that has shown historic growth in prices of 10% or more per annum.  

If you would like to get started straight away, please fill in the application form, and we will get in contact with you as soon as possible to start helping you with building your wealth to a higher level.

There are no restrictions, no obligations, you can set your quarterly payments at any level you feel comfortable with, and can change the arrangement or level of investment at any time, without any penalty.

You have complete flexibility with this investment.
