In this episode I interview Nick King, Co-founder & CEO of Vint, a platform that is securitizing fine wine and rare spirits allowing investors to efficiently get exposure to the asset class.

With a background in value investing, Nick was looking for uncorrelated assets to diversify his portfolio when he stumbled on the fine wine asset class. After doing some research and running a small portfolio, Nick and his co-founder, Patrick Sanders, found that fine wine had a very low correlation to public markets. Combining that with attractive returns, fine wine looked like the perfect candidate to diversify any portfolio. Thus, Vint.co was born.

Buying fine wine, however, comes with a lot of challenges. Vint's goal is to streamline the process for their investors by making it very easy to invest in the asset class through their platform. Vint performs their own due diligence leveraging fundamental analysis and data to drive decisions on which fine wines and spirits make it to the platform. They aim to financialize the asset class, which is why they have been working with the SEC from the get-go.

On the Vint platform you can get access to rare fine wine and spirit collections ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 at as little as $50 to $100. Investments are open to both accredited and non-accredited investors.

During the interview we dive into Nick's journey starting Vint and the benefits of the fine wine and spirits asset class.

Enjoy!
