I was told by my colleague on fine wine investment in Singapore. This however, a series of question came across my mind. What is the actual investment strategy for a newbie like us? I evaluated the most popular which is lower risk investment in Singapore.
Firstly, whereby a extraordinary super safe investment is, Fixed Deposit. The thing is that is only offer a below 1% rate from most of local bank within a short term period. Secondly, the Guaranteed Funds, it does offer a greater return compared to the Fixed Deposit. Just the matter that, your fund will be locked in a longer period up to 5 years. There are Bond Funds which available largely in the financial hub city like Singapore. Alot of Financial Institute based in Singapore has offered a wide range of products to the customer. But the concern is, it will be a risk involved which higher compared to the Fixed Deposit and Guaranteed Fund.
Let's review back to the Fine Wine Investment. I was told by a broker and it will generate a guarantee of 10% after a year upon the money I've invested. No tax, no management fees, and 100% capital guaranteed. A series of questions were on my mind, I wonder how they define each wine valuable, how much does the fine wine being appreciated just after a year? Are they being reported to any cases? Are all these Fine Wine Investment company are regulated in Singapore? I got offended when the broker asked me "How much you want to invest in?" This is the first statement I've got from when I answered the phone. I was not convinced at all! and yet he did not show the interest to introduce the product on me.
I got to really study well before I made a decision to invest to the Company. All in all, I still believe capital investment fund would be safer for a short term basic return. Of course it does has risk involved...
