AdAmiA, IDEX Launching Diamond Investment Product
October 29, 14AdAmiA will be taking part in the Belgian Economic Mission led by Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, to Singapore from November 26-28. AdAmiA’s CEO Laurent Mathiot will be a member of the mission and aims to meet interested parties.
The launch of the product comes following the emergence of investment-grade diamonds as an asset class.
As seen in recent spectacular auctions at Christies or Sotheby’s that keep on breaking record prices, diamonds are attracting buyers looking for new investment opportunities, with diamonds seen as providing a tangible asset that will not "default", as well as a portable and unmatched concentration of wealth.
"Polished diamonds' price performance also makes this asset class an attractive alternative investment thanks to steady returns, low volatility and a low correlation to other financial assets, therefore providing true diversification for an investor’s asset allocation," the companies said.
The 1 Carat IDEX Diamond Portfolios is an innovative proposition to invest in diamonds with a sustainable valuation and a guaranteed liquidity, allowing investors to buy and sell diamond portfolios of good quality, GIA-certified stones that are the most traded on the polished markets, and to receive an official ‘Net Asset Value’ on a monthly basis and to benefit from a straightforward process for exiting the investment at any time.
Diamond portfolios reflect the IDEX 1 Carat Index value at any given time and are authenticated as being compliant with the Kimberley Process and with Anti Money Laundering procedures.
Investors wishing to sell have two simple options: a 'Sale Order' with a portfolio(s) sold based on the latest NAV published, or a 'Sale Mandate' to have each diamond in the portfolio(s) independently sold in the market with the objective of optimizing the total sale price.
