Investing with Cult Wine Investment involves market risks, potential fluctuations in wine prices, and variable liquidity, which could impact the value and sale of the assets.
Investing in Streitwise involves risks such as market fluctuations affecting real estate values, limited liquidity with a one-year lockout period and potential for delayed redemptions, discounts on early redemption reducing investment value, concentration in specific real estate markets, reliance on management's decision-making, regulatory changes impacting operations, and sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Cult Wine Investment allows for portfolio liquidation, typically within 8 to 12 weeks, through sales to global trade, collectors, and consumers.
Streitwise's Redemption Plan offers investors a structured way to sell their shares back to the company, starting after a one-year lockout period. Redemption before five years involves a discount, with full NAV redemption available after five years.
Cult Wine Investment has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 8% since 2009.

Fine wine values can fluctuate due to various factors, resulting in lower volatility compared to traditional markets, yet still subject to changes in market conditions.
Assets on the Streitwise platform, mainly commercial real estate, typically show lower volatility compared to stocks or cryptocurrencies, due to the slower pace of value changes in real estate. However, factors like economic shifts, interest rate changes, and market conditions can still cause fluctuations, albeit over longer periods.

Streitwise is regulated under Regulation A+ of the JOBS Act, allowing it to sell securities to both accredited and non-accredited investors with SEC oversight. Although not specified, companies under this regulation typically must submit audited financial statements annually, conducted by independent firms, ensuring transparency and compliance.
