Did you know the SEC estimates that at least 40% of all registered funds hold an investment in at least one other fund?
Bourbon is not like most investments typical to a portfolio. It is a highly regulated asset that requires special knowledge, licensing, and capabilities to allow for the viability of Bourbon as a portfolio holding.
To include Bourbon in a portfolio, an investment manager needs to:
- Find available barrels and negotiate a purchase agreement
- Collaborate with a licensed entity for legal purchase and "Transfer-in-bond"
- Create testing and grading protocols for investment-worthy barrels
- Find or set up a rickhouse facility for barrel storage until maturity
- Organize legal transportation of barrels from the distillery to the rickhouse
- Employ staff to manage barrel rotation in the rickhouse
- Pay annual property taxes on aging barrels (not applicable in Ohio)
- Locate a qualified buyer at program maturity and arrange a legal sale and transfer-in-bond
Clearly, managing Bourbon as a portfolio asset is more complex than purchasing most other securities.
