Quantumrock, a trailblazing investment solutions company, has set its sights on generating value increases exceeding 25 percent annually over a two-year period. In a groundbreaking move, the company has introduced the world’s first structured, professional, investment-grade, and publicly-traded gemstone investment product.
The Rough Gemstone I Secured Certificates, officially listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s Euro MTF Market, mark a significant leap forward in the realm of investing in the value creation of polished colored gemstones, while minimizing the traditional risks and expenses associated with such investments.
With a targeted investment horizon of 24 months, Quantumrock aims to deliver substantial returns north of 25 percent per year, presenting an attractive proposition for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio. The investment certificates, unveiled recently, primarily cater to professional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and family offices.
According to Quantumrock, the ancient asset class, particularly the rarest gemstones, holds a promising market outlook. Historically, individual investors have faced substantial challenges when entering this market, primarily due to the difficulty of acquiring rough stones and the specialized expertise needed for appraisal. Quantumrock asserts that it removes these barriers, offering an innovative investment structure seeded with a fully appraised stock of rough emeralds and alexandrite, collectively valued at $125 million.
Emeralds, twenty times rarer than diamonds, often command higher prices per carat. Alexandrite, known for its extraordinary color-changing properties from vibrant green in daylight to rich red under incandescent light, is even rarer, having been first discovered in Russia’s Ural mountains in the 1830s.
Stefan Tittel, CEO and founder of Quantumrock, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “In a world where traditional investments are becoming increasingly unpredictable, we are excited to present professional investors with an opportunity that combines a new asset class with the sophistication of modern investment structures. This development reflects our unwavering commitment to offering the world’s first listed professional investment product in the world of colored gemstones.”
The global gemstone market is experiencing rapid growth and is projected to reach $56 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6 percent from 2023 to 2033, compared to 4.1 percent from 2018 to 2022.
By providing a direct entry point into the lucrative realm of gemstone polishing, Quantumrock’s certificate introduces a fresh and profitable asset class to professional investors, as highlighted by Etienne Schneider, former deputy prime minister of Luxembourg and an advisor to Quantumrock, who commended the company for its innovative investment solutions and the gemstone investment certificates as the next step in this legacy.
