Alto Capital and Vinovest Offer Rare Whiskey Fund to Accredited Investors

PRESS RELEASE
Published May 14, 2024

New partnership will give accredited investors exposure to high-growth beverage categories such as American Single Malt, Scotch, Bourbon, and Irish whiskey

NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Alto, an alternative asset platform that enables individuals to invest in alternative assets using both retirement and non-retirement funds, has announced a partnership with Vinovest, a wine and whiskey investing platform, to offer the Vinovest Capital Whiskey Fund on the Alto Marketplace.

"We are extremely excited to add the Vinovest Capital Whiskey Fund to our wide range of unique offerings on the Alto Marketplace," said Scott Harrigan, President of Alto and CEO of Alto Securities. "With a distinctive investment strategy tailored to whiskey enthusiasts, investors can tap into the multi-billion dollar whiskey market while also immersing themselves in craftsmanship and tradition. From the storied distilleries to the anticipation of rare finds, our approach celebrates the heritage of whiskey investing while also offering a sophisticated avenue for diversification and long-term growth."

Accredited investors who make a minimum investment of $25,000 can gain exposure to high-growth-potential whiskey such as American Single Malt, Scotch, Bourbon, and Irish. The overall whiskey market is on pace to grow to more than $127 billion by 2028, indicating an investment into the sector as having potential to help investors realize long-term gains. As a result of its intangibility and supply and demand imbalance in its market, whiskey is an alternative asset that should be considered over longer time horizons, of at least several years.

"We are thrilled to offer our unique investing opportunity on the Alto Marketplace," said Anthony Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Vinovest. "At Vinovest, we strive to make investing in premium whiskey a seamless experience for our investors, which is why we knew this partnership would fully align with our mission."

Traditionally, alternative investments with unique strategies that aren't more widely publicly available have been largely limited to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. This is in no small part due to their complexity and higher minimum investment requirements. With the alternative asset market experiencing unprecedented growth - global alternative assets under management (AUM) are expected to reach $24.5 trillion by the end of 2028 - Alto aims to broaden access by offering accredited investors the opportunity to invest in these deals by lowering the minimum investment requirements and working with funds usually limited to family offices and larger firms.
