The stock market is by far one of the most popular ways of investing but not everyone who buys stocks makes money in this unpredictable market. Other investors look to the bond market for investment opportunities while a large chunk of the rest bet on the ever-lucrative real estate market. However, very few ever consider opportunities in the luxury products market. So, what are some of the most interesting opportunities in this market that so often identifies with the rich? Here is a quick rundown.

Luxury Watches

Everyone is talking about smart watches with Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) Watch and Samsung (SSNLF ) Gear being amongst the most popular brands. However, these are barely luxury watches. When we talk of luxury watches, the focus is on historical luxury brands like Rolex. Per reports, some Rolex watches have been doing well in terms of price appreciation when compared to the stock market. This explains why luxury watch accessories are still high in demand in the market as investors seek to augment their possessions by keeping them in perfect condition. Watch winder makers like Orbita, as well as, jewellers and other value additive companies have remained in business despite the influx of tech devices that target the same market.

In this not-so-fool-proof analysis published in 2014 by CRM Jewelers, it’s clear that given the unpredictable nature of the stock market, investing in luxury products like high-end watches cannot go so bad. For instance, the annual return for a 48-year analysis period indicated that the price of one Rolex watch nearly matched what the S&P 500 had to offer to investors in terms of return. And because only a few investors match the performance of the S&P 500, why not look at luxury watches and other products?

Supercars

Supercars offer a great option for those looking for alternative investment instruments. Many people buy supercars, but very few buy them as an investment vehicle. However, if you assess the way the value of supercars appreciates over time compared to the tricky nature of the stock market, it might make sense to want to own one in the future.
