Why Splint Invest Is the Easiest Way to Own a Piece of Luxury

Investing in luxury assets like watches, whiskey casks, art, and other high-value items has traditionally been limited to the ultra-wealthy. But thanks to Splint Invest, you no longer need deep pockets to get started. In this podcast episode, we sat down with Aurelio Perruca, CEO and Co-Founder of Splint Invest, to learn how this innovative app is opening up alternative investments to a broader audience.

The Story Behind Splint Invest

Aurelio began his career in a traditional corporate environment, working at PwC, but his entrepreneurial drive eventually led him to co-found Splint Invest in 2021. Splint Invest’s mission is to democratize access to lifestyle assets, giving ordinary investors the chance to own a fraction of high-end items that were once exclusive to the wealthy.

The company started with a focus on whiskey casks, watches, and wine, but has since expanded into categories like art, cars, sneakers, handbags, Pokémon cards, and even old violins.

What Are Lifestyle Assets?

Lifestyle assets are physical, tangible investments such as watches, art, fine wines, and classic cars—items with intrinsic value and cultural significance. Historically, these assets have delivered strong performance, especially over the long term, but they’ve been out of reach for most people due to the high initial cost. A single watch or painting could cost tens of thousands, if not more.

Splint Invest makes these investments more accessible through fractional ownership, allowing investors to buy small fractions of these assets for as little as €50. This means you don’t have to own the entire item—you can invest in part of it and share in the profits when it appreciates in value.

The Importance of Diversification

One of the most crucial aspects of successful investing is diversification. Splint Invest not only opens up access to these lifestyle assets, but it also allows investors to spread their funds across multiple categories. Rather than investing €40,000 in a single watch, for example, you could allocate smaller amounts to a variety of assets, including wine, art, whiskey, and more.

This diversification helps investors manage risk while still participating in the potential upside of high-performing alternative assets.

Who Should Invest in Lifestyle Assets?

While the app makes investing easy, Aurelio explains that lifestyle assets are generally better suited for more experienced investors. These investments tend to be long-term and illiquid, meaning it can take time to realize their full potential. As Aurelio notes, “You need a lot of patience to achieve the best performance.”

That said, Splint Invest provides an option for investors to trade fractions of assets on its marketplace, helping to increase liquidity—though a liquidity premium of 5-10% applies when trading. Still, it’s important to approach these investments with a long-term horizon.
