Investing with Vinovest involves market fluctuation risks, potential loss from early sale fees, limited insurance coverage, and no guarantee of liquidity or fair value realization on the secondary market.
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.
Vinovest permits selling of assets with no extra commissions but charges a 1.5% listing fee for sales made before the ideal time window. Liquidity is not guaranteed and depends on market demand.
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.
Between 2015 and 2022, whiskey and fine wine have historically generated annual returns of 13.8% and 8.9%, respectively.
Streitwise has offered an average annualized dividend yield of 7.3% since 2020. Future dividends depend on factors like tenant quality and maintenance costs, and cannot be guaranteed.
Vinovest offers three time horizons for wine investment: short-term (5-7 years), medium-term (7-10 years), and long-term (10+ years), with customization options for higher-tier clients.
Streitwise targets long-term investments, ideally over five years, to avoid early redemption discounts and maximize returns. There's a one-year lockout period, emphasizing the long-term approach.
Vinovest is open to investors who can meet the platform's minimum investment thresholds, catering to a wide audience from beginners to seasoned collectors and various entities.
Streitwise is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, including international participants, with some investment limits for non-accredited investors to ensure their financial safety. International investors can join with certain conditions and may face delays in processing.
Vinovest's assets, like wine and whiskey, can face market volatility with swift price changes, posing risks of financial loss for short-term investors.
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.
Vinovest is audited annually by insurers and an independent auditor but is not SEC-regulated as it does not deal in securities.
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.
Vinovest insures client assets against damage, with reimbursement at full market value, although not all loss scenarios may be covered.
Streitwise has not specified the types of insurance it holds for its operations or properties. Typically, real estate investments are covered by property, liability, and business interruption insurance.
Streitwise pays dividends quarterly, about 10 days post-quarter end, offering payment via check, direct bank transfer, or through a dividend reinvestment program.
Investors get money back from Vinovest after selling matured or scarce wines, generally within a 10 to 15-year timeframe.
Investors can request to redeem their Streitwise shares after a one-year lockout period, with redemptions processed quarterly. Early redemptions (before five years) face discounts, while shares held for five years or more are redeemed at 100% NAV. Quarterly redemption limits may delay processing.
Vinovest charges tiered management fees: 2.5% (Standard), 2.35% (Plus), 2.15% (Premier), and 1.90% (Grand Cru), applied only on invested capital. A 1.5% selling fee is incurred upon sale, with free listing.
Streitwise charges a straightforward 2% annual fee on investments, taken from dividend payments, not the principal. There are no additional or hidden fees, making its fee structure transparent and investor-friendly.
Wine gains taxation through Vinovest depends on location: taxed as collectibles in the U.S., often exempt in the U.K., with similar exemptions in other countries. Vinovest provides monthly and annual statements for tax reporting, not 1099 forms.
Streitwise provides a Form 1099-DIV for tax reporting by January 31 each year, detailing dividends which may be taxed as return of capital, capital gains, or ordinary income.
