The Epsilon Fund

Investing in the highest class of rare and historically significant collectible assets has always been difficult for even the most discerning and dedicated of investors. Access to the best advice has traditionally been restricted to the few and therefore being able to intelligently balance a portfolio of these investments for the best return is beyond the scope of all but the most informed.

The Epsilon Fund has appointed five world-class experts as Advisors for the five asset classes, to seek out the best available acquisitions. Nowhere else can one find a collective resource of professionals who are considered industry’s best, working to generate a successful investment opportunity.

Many of the assets show low correlation to equities, bonds and real estate, in addition they are generally uncorrelated to each other. The accomplished Investment Committee ensures a dispassionate and data driven strategy to balance the asset allocation within the Fund for best possible performance.

Where does one attain access to the highest-grade items, sourced by world-class advisors, collectively and actively managed by city experts, all within one fund? The Epsilon Fund.

Fund Overview

• The Fund’s target size is £90 million, with minimum investment set at £200,000.
• Only items of historical importance and rarity, or collections of items of the same calibre are acquired by the Fund.
• The Fund is closed-ended, with a 5 year term. Redemptions are allowed after 2 years.
• An investment committee, supported by an advisory panel of 5 experts for each of our asset classes, and the Fund’s own data analyst, is responsible for allocating the Fund’s assets, and realigning the Fund’s portfolio as necessary.
• A separate cash fund is maintained to facilitate the purchase of newly available assets in the marketplace.

Past Performance

The graphs below show a five year period for each of the asset classes between 1998 and 2003. This period was chosen to show how these assets might have performed against the FTSE100 during this same timescale (except wine, which shows 2001 - 2006, as this index started in 2001).

The Epsilon Fund’s 5 key components of differentiation help make this fund the ultimate diversification vehicle for anticipated higher returns and lower risk.

The First Of Its Kind

The Epsilon Fund is the first to bring together 5 alternative and diverse physical assets. It is also the first time that world-class experts from each asset class have been brought together as Advisors for a common goal.

Excellent Growth Opportunity

Collectible, tangible, best-of-breed assets do well over time because their supply is limited whilst the demand for these assets continues to rise. Supply is further limited due to destruction, damage or museum donation. Desire for exclusive physical assets is increasing worldwide, especially from new wealth generated in emerging markets, and therefore portability is an added attraction.

Such assets have historically outperformed the middle market, and the goal is a conservative 10% - 15% annual growth net of fees.

Diversification

A new fund designed to meet the increasing demand from higher net-worth and institutional investors seeking to diversify into alternative investments. A collection of the very finest Works of Art & Antiques, Wine, Stamps, Coins, and Classic Cars, with acquisition and disposal assiduously managed throughout the life of the fund for highest possible return on investment.

The low correlation between asset classes facilitates the strategic management of a diverse portfolio with the goal of seeking best returns; and the convenience of a single investment vehicle.

People Investment

This Fund has attracted top city financial experts; these highly qualified blue-chip professionals form it’s Investment Committee. Through the Fund’s Analyst, they will be empowered with data enabling them to balance the allocation of assets to maximize return on investment.

The Advisory Panel consists of the finest, highly experienced, and most respected professionals in their respective fields of expertise. It is they who research and uncover the up coming investment opportunities, and put forward their recommendations to the Committee via the Analyst.

Insight & Events

Exhibitions of the objects will provide unique opportunities for investors to see under one roof this museum-quality collection of the world’s finest assets; the principal of their investment. It is not only investors who are interested in these assets; many collectors are drawn to such events thereby enabling the Fund to levy maximum PR. This makes the Fund appealing, both aesthetically and in its ability to allow discerning investors to gain access to the exclusive world of rare collectibles.
