About the platform...
What is CurioInvest?
CurioInvest provides a simple platform to invest in premium collectible cars. CurioInvest’s team of experts hand-pick vehicles based on their investment potential. The purchase price of the cars is crowdfunded by selling “Car Tokens” to investors on the platform. By purchasing Car Tokens, you gain the right to share in any profit when the vehicle is resold. In addition, you can diversify your portfolio by purchasing tokens in multiple cars. In this way, you can invest in the virtual garage of your dreams, backed by tangible, real-world assets (RWAs).
How does it work?
CurioInvest’s team of experts research and source rare, investment-grade collectible cars. We only select competitively priced cars which have the potential to increase in value over time. You can invest in a specific vehicle by buying Car Tokens. All the key information about the vehicles is available on the CurioInvest platform (including the vehicle’s ownership history, the current market prices for comparable vehicles, and relevant media such as videos and photos).
When the car is resold, you will receive a profit if the vehicle increases in value. Alternatively, if you wish to cash out before the vehicle is sold, you can also sell your Car Tokens peer-to-peer to other investors.
How does CurioInvest differ from other platforms?
CurioInvest enables everyone to invest in collectible cars on its simple, user-friendly platform - no need for phone calls, meetings and paperwork. By using a crowdfunded, community-based investment model, CurioInvest eliminates the need for minimum capital requirements, meaning that smaller investors can also access the market.
What is CurioInvest competitive Advantage?
Given our automotive connections, CurioInvest has a competitive advantage which will maximise investor’s returns when it comes to the overheads involved in purchasing, insuring, maintaining, enhancing, storing and disposing of the cars. These connections also enable CurioInvest to enhance the lifestyle related element of the investment through their manufacturer connections with factory tours, events and networking opportunities. We also believe that those connections will offer significant advantages when it comes to the acquisition of cars.
Can anyone invest using CurioInvest?
CurioInvest’s mission is to enable everyone to invest and profit from collectible cars. This means that ordinary car enthusiasts and smaller investors can now benefit from a market that was previously only accessible to wealthy elites. For this reason, the platform is free and open to all individuals above 18 years of age. For legal reasons, investors must pass an anti-money-laundering and KYC test before making their first investment, which can be completed online.
How can I make money?
By investing in Car Tokens, you gain the right to share in any potential profit when the vehicle is resold. The amount of money you obtain is directly proportional to the value of the car. You receive a profit if the increase in value of the vehicle exceeds its maintenance costs. Any vehicle that increases in value by more than 20% will be resold by CurioInvest so that investors can share in the profits.
If you want to cash out before the car is resold, you can sell your Car Tokens peer-to-peer to other investors. Since your tokens are backed by a real vehicle, the value will be proportional to the current market value of the car.
