European stocks continue to be volatile as investors’ uncertainty following Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (EU) impacts the market. We believe this is a continuation of the bear market started in 2016 with worse consequences. The fund is managed by a family office, which taking a market view – sold  all the equities with a 10% YTD* on Wednesday 22nd June (for more information please subscribe our newsletter below). Start to invest a portion of your assets in a tangible investment, not correlated to the stock markets, with a lower volatility than Gold.

Just some hours after Britian’s referendum announcement, Bonhams started their auction at the Goodwood Festival on the 24th June 2016. Whilst the stock markets were jittery and the Prime Minister resigned, the Jaguar SS 100 3,5 Liter von 1938, sold for £ 337’500 inc. premium, 51% over its estimated price. Please click the image for more details.

The 1949 Aston Martin DB Team Car sold for £679,100 inc. premium. Just to give you an example, for a Swiss buyer this cars were 10% cheaper then before the Brexit results, regarding the currency exchange. Please click the image for more details.

The figures below show the lost (Diff%) of the main European stock markets on the first day after the Brexit news, as the YTD (Perf. 1 Jahr) performance.
The UK’s vote to leave the European Union shocked US markets into some of their largest one-day point declines. The Nasdaq composite, which had already been in the red for the year, fell 4.1%. See below how single-day drops compare (source: Bloomberg):

Look at the performance of cars compared to some German stocks since 2005 (source: Suedwestbank). Don’t forget that you can insure a classic car against theft and damage, but not the case with an equity when it comes to bankruptcy or a bond against default. All the cars of the fund are insured for theft  (at least 10% to 15% more than purchase price) and full damage. Naturally cars have maintenance cost, but also stocks have cost (deposit and other banks costs).

A great article regarding the classic car market. The two biggest emerging markets will be China and India. Up to now, the Chinese and Indians have found it difficult to establish car collections at home by importing cars. This will change favourably to increase the demand for classic cars, that will follow with a rise in prices.
