Are Your Wine and Art Protected?

09 July 2018

With interest rates remaining at historic lows, more and more people are looking into so-called alternative investments. From wine to art to antiques, canny investors are putting their spare cash to work as they seek higher returns. Wine, for example, has proved a phenomenal investment over the last five years with price rises of up to 150% recorded by online fine wine trading platform, Liv-Ex. Such growth is phenomenally attractive but it comes with a risk. Unlike some other investments such as stocks and shares, collections such as these are physical, will often be in your home and are therefore at risk of damage, theft or loss.
