This reduces the dependency on conventional investments and the associated market developments and opens up new potential return opportunities. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"About_Splint_Invest\">About Splint Invest<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Brief_history\">Brief history<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Splint Invest is a Swiss start-up based in Zug, which was founded in 2021 by two private investors and auditors, Aurelio Perucca and Mario von Bergen, among others. They were motivated by the realization that many private investors, driven by negative interest rates, stock market turbulence and rising inflation, were desperately looking for alternative investment opportunities. <\/p>\n\n<p>After a test phase among acquaintances, the app went live in February 2022. By 2026, the platform already had around 20,000 investors &#8211; and the trend is rising sharply. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1432\" src=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team_Splint-Invest-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Splint Invest experience\" class=\"wp-image-4631\" title=\"Splint Invest experience\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team_Splint-Invest-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team_Splint-Invest-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team_Splint-Invest-1536x859.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Team_Splint-Invest-2048x1145.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Splint Invest team.

You can use this platform to trade digital shares in alternative investments. These are <strong>collector&#8217;s items<\/strong> or luxury items, also known as collectibles or luxury items in technical jargon.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Specifically, you can invest in contemporary works of art, high-quality luxury watches, exquisite wines, selected whiskey barrels or exclusive handbags, for example, thereby <strong>acquiring co-ownership of these objects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Splint Invest makes <strong>collectibles accessible to a wide range of investors<\/strong>. This asset class was previously reserved for very wealthy individuals, as the <strong>company&#8217;s own slogan<\/strong> &#8220;Do it like the top 1%. Invest in alternative investments&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Interaction_between_experts_platform_and_investors\">Interaction between experts, platform and investors<\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>Splint Invest operates the platform, selects external partners and validates their expertise according to data-based criteria. If Splint Invest comes to the conclusion that the external partner is trustworthy and the collector&#8217;s item on offer is fairly valued, it is purchased and offered on the platform as an investment object. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"What_amounts_are_involved\">What amounts are involved?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>From as little as \u20ac50<\/strong> &#8211; or the equivalent in <strong>CHF or GBP<\/strong> &#8211; you can purchase shares, known as <strong>splints<\/strong>. With the <strong>promo code SFB60 <\/strong>, you even get your first split for free, which is effectively a risk-free investment. <\/p>\n\n<p>Splint Invest now offers you <strong>three reference currencies<\/strong>: EUR (previously), <strong>now also CHF<\/strong> and GBP. A single Splint is still equivalent to <strong>\u20ac50<\/strong>, but is converted into the selected reference currency.  You can find out exactly how this works <a href=\"https:\/\/splintinvest.com\/de\/blog\/multi-currency-splint-invest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">in this article from Splint Invest.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p>Existing customers can change their reference currency <strong>once and irrevocably<\/strong>, for example from <strong>euros to Swiss francs<\/strong>. In our experience, the currency change can be initiated with just a few clicks and takes effect <strong>within 24 hours<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"What_fees_are_charged_by_Splint_Invest\">What fees are charged by Splint Invest?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the positives: There are <strong>no custody fees<\/strong> or other hidden costs with Splint Invest. There is also <strong>no withdrawal fee<\/strong> when you transfer the proceeds from the sale of Splints back to your bank account. <\/p>\n\n<p>Splint Invest <strong>only incurs transaction-related costs<\/strong> when buying and selling splints.<\/p>\n\n<p>The purchase price of splints already includes the so-called <strong>platform fees<\/strong> and any <strong>external management costs<\/strong>. These costs are calculated once over the entire investment horizon and vary depending on the investment object. <\/p>\n\n<p>When you sell an investment, you will also be charged a <strong>flat-rate fee of<\/strong> <strong>2% of the<\/strong> <strong>sales price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>To help you decide, we recommend that you find out exactly what fees will be charged before you purchase an investment. You can do this easily and individually according to the planned investment amount via the app.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2540\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert.png\" alt=\"Splint Invest experience\" class=\"wp-image-4632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert.png 2540w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert-768x756.png 768w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert-1536x1512.png 1536w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kostenaufteilung_Rolex_markiert-2048x2016.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2540px) 100vw, 2540px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Anyone investing with Splint Invest should check these three fee components (marked with a red star) before making a purchase.

The value of the splints reported at the end of the year is added to the assets in the tax return. An investment with Splint Invest is therefore subject to <strong>wealth tax<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"How_is_the_expected_return_determined\">How is the expected return determined?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Together with the external experts, an <strong>investment horizon<\/strong> and <strong>three scenarios<\/strong> are defined for each property with regard to the <strong>expected performance<\/strong>: a defensive, a balanced and an offensive scenario. These forecasts are largely based on <strong>historical data<\/strong> or returns and sales prices achieved in the past for comparable properties.   <\/p>\n\n<p>According to our Splint Invest experience, the <strong>returns<\/strong> are <strong>often over 10% p.a.<\/strong>, but vary considerably from property to property. For example, the expected annual return as at January 14, 2026 for the active offers for the balanced scenario ranges from an attractive 13.2% (Saphir Edelstein) to a high 28.8% (Panini card with basketball player Reggie Miller from 2016). <\/p>\n\n<p>In the next chapter, you will find out what <strong>real returns have been achieved through sales to date <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"When_will_they_be_sold_and_what_real_returns_have_been_achieved_so_far\">When will they be sold and what real returns have been achieved so far?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The sales process is initiated by <strong>Splint Invest <\/strong>on a rule-based basis, i.e. <strong>from the start of the defined investment horizon<\/strong>, and is generally based on the <strong>balanced or offensive scenario<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>According to our Splint Invest experience,<\/strong> however, it is often the case that an offer corresponding to the <strong>offensive scenario<\/strong> arises <strong>before the specified investment period expires<\/strong>. In this case, Splint Invest arranges for <strong>the collector&#8217;s item<\/strong> to be <strong>sold prematurely<\/strong>. Occasionally it can also happen that the market opportunities for a particular item become less favorable.

We have tested the latter.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The app is available in <strong>German, English<\/strong> and now <strong>French<\/strong>. The actual content is divided into the following <strong>five sections <\/strong>in the menu bar:   <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Investments8221_section_and_Stefan8217s_first_purchase\"><strong>Investments&#8221; section and Stefan&#8217;s first purchase<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>This is where the music plays and the voyage of discovery begins! You can make an initial selection using the filter function, including by status (all, active, available soon or sold out), yield or term. <\/p>\n\n<p>Stefan decides on an object with the highest possible return potential and the shortest possible investment horizon &#8211; and finds what he is looking for. He invests his first split in a painting by the artist David Hockney. <\/p>\n\n<p>The value of this painting from 2010 is estimated at an impressive \u20ac156,000, resulting in a total of 3,123 splints. At the time of purchase, 42% of the splints were still left. As Splint Invest reported on request, there have not yet been any slow sellers after around 100 purchases. This means that a purchase is usually completed within a few hours to a few days at most.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Splint_Invest_Stefans-erster-Kauf-.png\" alt=\"Alternative Investments\" class=\"wp-image-4639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Splint_Invest_Stefans-erster-Kauf-.png 3840w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Splint_Invest_Stefans-erster-Kauf--768x500.png 768w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Splint_Invest_Stefans-erster-Kauf--1536x1000.png 1536w, https:\/\/schweizerfinanzblog.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Splint_Invest_Stefans-erster-Kauf--2048x1333.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stefan&#8217;s first purchase in three steps: discovery, selection and investment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>And lo and behold: barely invested, the artwork has already increased in value by 0.6%!

This <strong>secondary market <\/strong>is open <strong>from Thursday to Sunday<\/strong>. The selling person determines the offer price. However, in order to avoid <strong>abuse<\/strong> and unwanted transactions, the offers must be within <strong>realistic ranges<\/strong>. These ranges are defined by Splint Invest.    <\/p>\n\n<p>And indeed, the price bands imposed on the selling party are <strong>conservatively<\/strong> defined and hardly exceed the market price determined. At the lower end, however, Splint Invest tolerates large discounts.  A typical price range for a split pin with a calculated market price of \u20ac52 would be \u20ac29 &#8211; \u20ac55, for example. <\/p>\n\n<p>Splint Invest also advises against early, speculative sales. This is because such a strategy is often associated with a loss of returns. Instead, you should only sell via the trading venue when you need liquidity.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Stefan purchased a Splint for \u20ac48.50 for the first time via the trading platform on 10.8.2023, for a <strong>Rolex Sky-Dweller <\/strong>. This offer was therefore \u20ac1.50 below the original price and corresponded approximately to the market value determined by Splint Invest at the time of purchase. Since then, he has regularly bought splints via the trading platform, often when they are offered below market value, for which there is a practical filter.   <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Profile8221_section\"><strong>Profile&#8221; section<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>In addition to personal details, there are also interesting things to discover in this section.

This occurs if the sales proceeds are less than the amount originally invested. As no long-term track record spanning several market cycles is yet available, statements on possible loss phases can only be made to a limited extent at present. On a positive note, however, numerous sales have already been successfully completed and many collector&#8217;s items have found buyers at attractive prices.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>It is also important to note that <\/strong>any insolvency of Splint Invest does not represent a cluster risk on the investor side. The underlying luxury items do not fall into the bankruptcy estate, but remain the property of the investor.

We were impressed by this asset class and its user-friendly implementation, which is why we are adding splints &#8211; i.e. shares in these collectibles &#8211; to our portfolio, which consists primarily of equity ETFs. We are doing this gradually over a longer period of time and without exceeding a 10% share of the total portfolio value.  <\/p>\n\n<p>For a still young platform for alternative investments, the question of trust is central. The same applies to Splint Invest: despite numerous realized sales, a long-term track record over several market cycles is still lacking. However, we consider it positive that many collector&#8217;s items have achieved double-digit returns, found buyers quickly and the secondary market has functioned well so far.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In our opinion, splints are particularly suitable for people who wish to supplement their portfolio with alternative investments and who value at least one of the following aspects:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better diversification<\/strong> and potentially less dependence on equity and interest rate markets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>higher potential returns<\/strong>, combined with corresponding risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>more emotion<\/strong> compared to traditional investments such as shares or bonds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Questions?
