Résumé du document

SWAG investment is an acronym referring to Silver, Wine, Art & Gold, four assets that have always been a spring of fertile investments. The goal of adding SWAG into one's portfolio is to diversify it from usual bonds and stocks, indeed stocks have never really been safe and bonds are not always profitable. In this mindset, SWAG investment allows you to get both performance and safety, because SWAG assets are always on scarcity, they are not abundant goods, so there will always be people looking for them hence their attractiveness. Unlike usual money you cannot press a button to get five more Van Gogh nor to open a new gold mine.

Of course, SWAG investments have some downsides too, especially art and wine. [...]
