Lawford Investment

Whether it’s charter or sales, business, or pleasure, we can deliver the ultimate private aviation experience, including the organization of aviation finance for personal or corporate purchases. With access to the finest and most exclusive private aviation providers, we are uniquely placed to make our client’s dream come true.

Finding independent guidance on yacht ownership is far from straightforward. We can help to provide expert guidance on the financing, and buying, management, and sale of pleasure craft of all sizes, from production yachts up to larger superyachts.

Through Lawford Investment, our partners will listen carefully to your requirements and needs in order to help you find the best boat or private jet and in the best budget.

You should ask for the detailed condition of the boat or private jet before you decide whether it is worth taking the time to visit it or not. You should also be notified if there are other similar boats or jets on (and off) the market, the history of the yacht or aircraft, and the seller’s motives. You will get detailed information on current market conditions, familiarity with similar products, and recent sale price data on the market.

In recent years, more and more people have recognized that art is a real asset class and a great way to diversify, and they are not collectors. Leading financial analysts have determined that investors who add art to their portfolio not only get a better annual return than those who do not, but that they also decrease their amount of risk. Furthermore, art has become increasingly obvious, people are beginning to realize that people who are truly expert in art are able to easily navigate the complex and treacherous waters of the art world and make very safe and strong investments.

Among the reasons for investing in art are the following:

Investors who have art in their portfolios have historically had higher total annual returns while reducing their risk.

Art investments are sound hedges against inflation and produce returns far in excess of increases in global consumer price indices.

Art is a real asset class and a growing investment market.

Art brings aesthetic and cultural value and has historically been a key alternative asset class.
