tangible assets  ////

Over recent years “hard asset” investing has exploded showing a steady trend of double digit returns, as high as 30% per annum for the “blue chip” group of classic cars.  The classic car industry has exceeded expectations outperforming the DOW, S&P 500, S&P 1200, gold, wine and other commodities by a significant margin.
