Splint Invest, a Swiss-based fintech platform specialising in fractional investments in works of art, rare collectables and alternative assets, has announced that it has launched over 850 assets with a total value of more than \u20ac50 million. With a community of around 38,000 users, the company has built an ecosystem that allows even small investors to access opportunities traditionally reserved for high-net-worth individuals. The main markets are currently Switzerland and France, followed by Germany and the UK, whilst Italy stands out as one of the fastest-growing countries where the fintech firm now intends to accelerate its expansion alongside the development of new dedicated solutions designed for B2B partners. <\/p>\n\n
At the heart of the model lies a data-driven approach that combines financial expertise, in-depth knowledge of assets and technology. Splint Invest has an in-house team of financial analysts who work closely with sector experts for each asset class, whilst also utilising artificial intelligence tools to support the evaluation and selection of investment opportunities. “It is precisely this combination,” explains Aurelio Perucca, CEO and co-founder of Splint Invest, “that enables the company to identify high-quality assets and aim for above-market performance, making a new frontier in investment accessible to all, without compromising on rigour and transparency.” <\/p>\n\n
From fine wines and luxury watches to memorabilia and collectables, Splint Invest \u2013 regulated in Switzerland as a financial intermediary \u2013 selects and acquires physical assets which are then fractionalised and made available on the platform. A model that has already delivered tangible results: over the past two years, the company has achieved an average net return of 25%, with an average holding period of around 15 months, and returns have already been successfully distributed to investors. <\/p>\n\n
One of the most notable transactions was the sale of a sealed Japanese Pok\u00e9mon Base Set Booster Box, purchased in August 2025 for around \u20ac43,000 and sold in March 2026 for \u20ac70,000, yielding a net return on investment of over 60% in just seven months. The transaction was based on the expectation of a price increase linked to Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s 30th anniversary in 2026, confirming just how much, in this market, the ability to anticipate cultural and collectible trends can make all the difference. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cHowever, the risks associated with this asset class must also be highlighted,\u201d adds Perucca. \u201cThe first is illiquidity: these are investments that take time, and selling them can take several years.\u201d <\/strong>This is why the platform advises investors to commit only capital that is not needed in the short term and provides guidance on the estimated holding period for each asset. The second issue concerns valuation: determining the true value of these assets is not straightforward, as there is no liquid market and one often has to work with limited data and valuation models. Our aim is to make high-quality assets accessible to a new generation of investors. We believe that the future of investment also lies in alternative assets, but only if accompanied by transparency, rigorous selection and appropriate tools for evaluating them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Swiss company offers fractional investments in assets such as works of art, luxury goods and collectables<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":125,"featured_media":164591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3095],"tags":[2236,1318,1137,1136],"companies":[],"journalist":[1518],"class_list":["post-164592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-startup-en","tag-europa-en","tag-fintech-en","tag-italy-en","tag-startup-en-2","journalist-editorial-staff-en"],"featured_sizes_urls":{"thumbnail":{"src":"https:\/\/www.startupbusiness.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/splint-piccola.webp","width":150,"height":124,"crop":false,"srcset":false,"alt":"alternative investments"},"large":{"src":"https:\/\/www.startupbusiness.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/splint-piccola.webp","width":1024,"height":849,"crop":false,"srcset":false,"alt":"alternative investments"},"2048x2048":{"src":"https:\/\/www.startupbusiness.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/splint-piccola.webp","width":1088,"height":902,"crop":false,"srcset":false,"alt":"alternative investments"}},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
