Magenta Wine Investors Ltd.

 

 

Magenta Wine Investors Ltd. is a fine wine investment vehicle that Vanquish formed in 2011 as a principal trading platform for an alternative investment strategy in fine and rare wine. Its purpose is to actively deliver tangible returns in the medium to long term.
Vanquish’s multi-dimensional business model translates into phenomenal buy-side leverage with brand owners, trade suppliers and private clients. Our fine wine team uses its international exposure, expertise, and long term relationships with fine wine sources to manage an extensive portfolio of investment grade wines for the shareholders of Magenta. 
Magenta is managed in its entirety by Vanquish Wine Ltd.

  

Magenta Investment Philosophy

 

 

Unlike the majority of wine investment funds that are currently available, Vanquish's exclusive Investment Wine Platform, Magenta pursues an active investment philosophy to generate returns rather than depending on market movements to enhance the value. Such a strategy means that we are continually active in the market, evaluating our position in order to deliver realised gains for our investors. Magenta targets net returns of 15 to 20 per cent per annum.
Magenta has shown a realised pre-tax return on investment (utilising the same fee structure as MPWP) of 23.48% for the first seven months of the 2011 year, and a 16.07% return for the last year (nine months of trading).
This investment philosophy is carried over to the managed personal wine portfolios as well.

 Magenta Investment Criteria

 

Vanquish will make all investment decisions pertaining to Magenta based on the following criteria:

 

  • - Investment grade wines (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne) with a proven investment track record.
  • - Wines from 1990 vintage and younger (excluding En-Primeur).
  • - Wines with a proven ageing ability and wines that will not have reached their peak during our investment window.
  • - Whole cases (OWC) up to Magnum (1.5L) size.
  • - Wines with a verifiable provenance that have been stored and shipped properly.

 

 

  Why invest in wine today?

  

  • The Liv-Ex 50 Fine Wine Index indicates that the values of this group of the best wines are up year-on-year 31.4% and 9.4% year to date.
  • Wine is considered to be a credible alternative asset class. This is because it has a finite supply (depending upon each vintage) that is coupled with an increasing customer base in developing nations, a more educated general population that is increasingly drinking better wine and institutional growth.
  • Those who can leverage liquidity can benefit from significant discounts to market prices by taking ownership positions in a market dominated by brokerage.
  • Emerging markets are driving unprecedented demand for fine and rare wine and the recovering US economy and reinvigorated interest in fine wine make for exceptional opportunities to sell into the US private client market.
