Capital at risk — please read first

There are risks to all forms of investing, particularly in unregulated, complex, non-readily realisable and/or non-transferable securities such as bonds, loan notes and unquoted equity investments. Forecasts are not guarantees and performance may vary. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.

These materials are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). All investors should seek independent professional advice before deciding to invest. Please read our Risk Factors page before requesting a report.

Luxury Goods and the UK Investor

ReportOctober 2026CollectiblesCertified investors only

Luxury goods are not a single asset class. Prestige watches, handbags, collector and classic cars, fine jewellery and rare antiques differ on every variable that decides an outcome — supply, transparency, liquidity and cost. This report separates them, using the HAGI collector car index, published luxury watch and resale market sizing, and UBS sector analysis.

It covers what trading in watches, prestige and performance cars, jewellery and rare antiques has actually delivered — including the honest 4.5% ten-year average return on the leading collector car index — why market growth is not the same as a return to owners, which categories have countable supply and real price data, where specification beats model, and what the friction costs do before you buy.

UK Property: Investment & Development 2026–2030

ReportOctober 2026UK propertyCertified investors only

UK property is not having a boom — it is having something steadier and more useful: a market where demand to rent keeps exceeding the number of homes being built, while the cost of borrowing falls. This report sets out the case and tests it, using published Savills forecasts, British Property Federation build-to-rent statistics, Cushman & Wakefield transaction data and CBRE market commentary.

It covers the five-year outlook for prices, rents and interest rates; why regional performance is forecast to diverge by up to 15 percentage points; the state of the build-to-rent pipeline; what development viability means for returns; the main routes into UK property and what each one exposes an investor to; and the costs, tax considerations and risks that reduce a headline yield into an actual return.

Gold: The UK Investor's Allocation Question

ReportSeptember 2026GoldCertified investors only

Gold's role in a UK portfolio is argued from several directions at once. This report examines what physical metal and paper gold products each actually represent, where the ongoing storage and management costs sit, how gold has behaved against other assets, and the questions a buyer should answer before deciding that gold belongs in their allocation at all.

It is written for an investor who understands the word “gold” but has not yet examined the difference between owning bullion and owning a certificate, a fund or a structured product.

Alternative Investments: A Practical Guide

GuideSeptember 2026Multi-assetCertified investors only

Alternative investments encompass a wide range of structures, rights and risk profiles. This guide explains how to examine the legal structure, the source of any return, the security offered, the liquidity of the holding, the fees charged, the documentation involved and the role of each professional before considering an opportunity.

It is an educational resource. It does not recommend any investment, and it does not assess whether any particular opportunity is suitable for any particular reader.
