Splint Invest
We help private investors diversify their portfolio by providing easy access to alternative investments, from EUR 50.
As the year comes to a close, we’re excited to share a summary of year-end highlights and our trend predictions for the 2025 outlook.
In December, traditional markets experienced some corrections: SMI fell by -2.66%, S&P 500 declined by -1.59%, while DAX (+1.42%) and EuroStoxx 50 (+1.67%) saw positive movements. Gold, on the other hand, had a modest increase of +0.31%, with all performance data calculated in EUR.
In contrast, Splint Invest’s alternative assets outperformed traditional markets again, with a +0.6% return for the month. This brought the year-to-date performance to +3.0%, ending the year on a high note.
December highlights:
2025 Outlook
Art (+1.7% December)
Art was?2024’s best-performing category, driven by demand for modern and contemporary works. December’s standout was Winston Branch’s Untitled, 1997, which gained +17.69%. The art market is poised for continued stability, with growing interest in emerging artists and digital art.
Sneakers (+1.1% December)
Sneakers continued their ascent, fueled by demand for rare, limited-edition releases. The top performer in December was the Nike SB Dunk Low Yellow Lobster (1-of-36), up +5.36%. Expect further growth driven by cultural milestones and celebrity-backed collaborations. Ultra-limited editions will likely hold the highest investment value in the resale market.
Watches (-0.1% December | -5.3% YTD)
The luxury watch market faced mixed results in December. Demand for standard models in the secondary market began to recover, but overall performance remained subdued. High-end heritage brands and the secondhand market show promise, especially as more consumers seek pre-owned models amid economic pressures.
