About Steadman-Chase
Steadman-Chase is a specialist alternative asset consultancy helping private clients acquire and hold carefully selected physical assets.
Our focus is deliberately narrow: Scotch whisky casks and physical gold coins.
These are very different markets, but they share qualities that appeal to investors looking beyond conventional financial products. Both are tangible. Both can be owned directly. And both have established markets built around assets with genuine underlying value.
Our role is to make those markets easier to understand.
We help clients assess what they are buying, understand the structure of ownership, consider the risks and costs involved, and make informed decisions based on the individual asset rather than a headline sales claim.
A Focused Approach
to Alternative Assets
We do not try to cover every alternative investment available.
We concentrate on two areas where we believe specialist knowledge matters.
Scotch Whisky Casks
Whisky casks are long-term physical assets whose characteristics evolve while the spirit matures in Scotland.
The distillery, age, cask type, provenance, remaining volume, alcohol strength, warehouse arrangements and eventual buyer market can all influence a cask’s prospects.
That makes careful selection and proper documentation essential.
Our whisky work is centred on understanding the individual cask rather than treating Scotch whisky as a single homogeneous investment market.
Physical Gold Coins
Gold operates in a much broader and more established global market.
Our focus is on selected British gold coins, including Britannias and Sovereigns, and particularly high-grade examples independently certified by recognised grading organisations such as NGC and PCGS.
With graded coins, factors such as rarity, issue, condition and collector demand can sit alongside the underlying value of the gold itself.
