The annual investor conference at The Greenbrier West Virginia provided a great snap shot of investor mood in the USA. There were over 100 attendees from all over the country and whilst the clients enjoyed some great activities including golf, geo cache, croquet and trap shooting the real reason to get together was the presentation from chairman GIles Cadman. Giles outlined the various methods of investing in fine wine including en-primeur, the wine fund, wine purchase agreements and full physical purchase. Giles also outlined the property and capital projects Venulum are currently working on and the respective investment opportunities they offer. From the client meetings after the presentation it was clear that appetite for the right kind of investment was very strong, particularly for long term and lower risk profile opportunities.
We are about to send an online survey to the attendees, and will hopefully be able to use the feedback to create a better conference next year.
