BiBO

At BiBO, we build bespoke wine investment portfolios. Understanding your goals and making them our own is what makes us unique.

 

 

Investing in fine wine is a great way to diversify your portfolio. Not only has it enjoyed consistent returns (10.6% per year over the last 30 years), it’s fundamentally different to traditional stock investment which means it doesn’t respond to the same external events - giving you more stability.

 

Where traditional stock investments are based on annual earnings and business performance which can be affected by a multitude of internal & external factors, fine wine is underpinned by a simple supply and demand imbalance: 

 

 

It’s this imbalance investors are looking to exploit, aiming to hold assets that target excess demand. 

 

 

Whilst over three billion cases of wine are produced each year, few qualify as fine wine and fewer still constitute investment grade wine.

 

We review each wine individually to assess their investment opportunity. And we’ve identified 8 vectors that allow us to eliminate unsuitable wines from our pool of options. This initial rejection of wines tightens our focus and allows us to hone in on the cases that align with both the investor’s goals and our investment philosophy.

 

1. Brand power 

2. Drinking window

3. Critic score

4. Market liquidity 

5. Region vintage

6. Price volatility 

7. Production volume

8. Price history

 

Through this approach to finding relative value, we interpret market information quickly and identify opportunities that enable confident, accountable investment.

 

 

We believe wine investment should be incredibly simple. So that’s what you can expect from working with us. 

 

Hard work and analysis takes place up front, before a purchase is made. We get to know you and your goals, and we build a portfolio to match. Once identified, a perfect condition case is bought at the best possible price. It’s stored until mature, and then sold for max value. 

 

We don’t charge investment or management fees like most other investment platforms. In fact, we’re one of the only ones that commits to your exit from the market. We charge an exit commission to ensure our incentives are aligned. Ultimately the more money your investment makes, the more money we make with you.
