OUR PORTFOLIO
hmo/self contained lets
This section dominates our portfolio. As part of this strategy, we utilise our long standing connections with our various associates to secure access to off-market deals which include HMO’s and self contained lets. These properties are fully managed by our partners who have experience in this sector lasting over 10 years. These assets consistently satisfy our lenders strategic needs.
​
Our focus leads us to projects mainly in the north of England where historically we have got the most consistent and profitable returns.
rent to rent
Our rent-to-rent model takes advantage of the market need for short term flexible accommodation. As part of this, our strategy is to engage with landlords in high growth areas with effective transport links and various ongoing regeneration projects. Our team have secured multiple landlords through their long standing relationships.
art
Investing in art can be a unique and potentially rewarding endeavour. We look at multiple factors when we evaluate our options. These factors are as follows:
​
Research - We educate ourselves about different art forms, artists, and art market.
Diversification - Our growing art portfolio represents around 5% of our total assets.
Storage & Insurance - Our artwork is stored in various galleries and has full insurance.
Budget - We set a budget we are comfortable with, as art can range from affordable to extremely expensive.
Authenticity - Any of our artwork is purchased from experienced, trusted galleries or collectors.
development projects
We have no set criteria for any development projects that come across our desk. We are interested in substance and detail and are happy to engage with any potential business to assist in finalising projects.
commodities
Commodities are vital to our success as a balanced business. We invest in top performing assets such as Gold, Silver and Platinum which are stored in our insured vaults and only sold/bought when the market conditions are right.
wine & whiskey
We partner with one of London’s best wine merchants to procure the best performing casks on the market. Investing in wine can have several potential benefits due to our connections within the industry, this includes:
​
Potential for Appreciation - Fine wines can appreciate in value over time, especially rare or highly sought-after bottles. They are tangible assets, which can provide a level of security beyond other asset classes.
​
Low Correlation - Wine prices may not always follow stock or bond market trends, providing some protection during market volatility.
​
Limited Supply - Certain wines we acquire are produced in limited quantities, making them more exclusive and potentially valuable.
​
Historical Performance - Fine wine has shown strong historical performance, with some vintages gaining significant value in a short time frame.
business acquisition
Business acquisition can be our most lucrative class of investment. It represents a significant opportunity that we see going forward as the market pivots towards innovative new companies.
