Splint Invest has completed 62 exits

Splint Invest has completed 62 exits with a total exit volume of €3.86 million, delivering an average realised net return of 24% over an average holding period of 15 months. Our best exit reached 78.9%, while our fastest exit closed in just 2 months.

In this article, we would like to shed light on a selection of recent exits and the specialist partners behind them. These examples show how expert sourcing, careful timing, and strong market positioning can translate into compelling outcomes across a wide range of alternative assets.

Why exits and partners matter

Exits are where an investment thesis is put to the test. They show whether the sourcing, pricing, and timing behind an asset truly hold up when brought back to market.

At Splint Invest, successful exits are closely tied to our network of specialist partners. Their expertise helps us identify opportunities, access high-quality assets, and navigate niche markets that often remain inaccessible to individual investors.

1. A selection from Burgundy and Champagne (Wine)

Return: +64.7% net
Holding period: ~21 months (1.8 years)
Sourcing expert: RareWine Invest

A curated selection from Burgundy and Champagne delivered a net return of 64.7% over roughly 21 months. The allocation combined blue-chip Champagne with highly sought-after Burgundy, offering a balance of stability and growth.

This paired strategy benefited from two strong regional dynamics at once: tightening supply in top Burgundy and continued price appreciation for prestige cuvées from Champagne. The result was a strong example of how carefully structured wine allocations can create value over a relatively short holding period.

2. Duncan Robert McCormick, Summer Oilseed, 2021 (Art)

Return: +32.1% net
Holding period: ~14 months (1.2 years)
Sourcing expert: Maddox Gallery London

This exit focused on Summer Oilseed (2021) by British artist Duncan Robert McCormick, generating a net return of 32.1% over about 14 months. The work was acquired in what we consider the mid-career “sweet spot”, where pricing remains below the top tier while gallery support and collector attention continue to build.

With the support of Maddox Gallery London, Splint was able to access a work that reflected our thesis around undervalued mid-career art. As demand around the artist strengthened, the position developed into one of the standout art exits on the platform.

3. Pokémon TCG, Sword & Shield Silver Tempest Booster Box (Pokémon)

Return: +40.5% net
Holding period: ~13 months (1.1 years)
Sourcing expert: Amazingtoys.ch

In the collectibles segment, a sealed Pokémon TCG Sword & Shield Silver Tempest Booster Box delivered a net return of 40.5% in roughly 13 months. The product was supported by a strong chase-card lineup led by Lugia V Alt Art and benefited from the set’s approach toward out-of-print status.

As secondary-market prices climbed and supply tightened, the box reached its ambitious target earlier than expected. This exit highlighted how sealed Pokémon products can re-rate quickly when scarcity and collector demand align.

4. Shohei Ohtani 2018 Bowman Chrome Atomic Refractor CRASO 100/100 Rookie (Sports card)

Return: +78.9% net
Holding period: ~16 months (1.3 years)
Sourcing expert: K3Y asset

Our best exit to date came from a Shohei Ohtani 2018 Bowman Chrome Atomic Refractor rookie autograph, serial-numbered 100/100, which delivered a net return of 78.9%. As one of the most iconic modern athletes, Ohtani brought together elite performance, global attention, and strong long-term collector demand.

The card benefited from both its inherent rarity and a surge in market momentum during Ohtani’s historic World Series run. This created the right conditions for a timely exit at a level far above the original investment case.

What these exits say about our strategy

Across these examples, a few themes stand out clearly.

• Specialist sourcing plays a central role, whether through Maddox Gallery London in art, Amazingtoys.ch in collectibles, or K3Y asset in sports cards.
• Alternative assets can generate strong net returns over relatively efficient holding periods when sourced and exited with discipline.
• Diversification across categories matters, but so does deep expertise within each niche.

As Splint Invest continues to expand its track record, we remain committed to giving investors transparent insight into how performance is generated — and to highlighting the partners whose expertise helps make these opportunities possible.
