Innovative approach

quantumrock Is Making Gemstones Professionally Investable For The First Time

Gemstones emerge as an enticing investment frontier. Their beauty and rarity, historical resilience to inflation, as well as long history of yielding appealing returns position coloured gemstones as an attractive asset class. Moreover, unlike other asset classes, they possess the unique ability to evoke passion.

Our innovative investment solution addresses a critical challenge of the coloured gemstone mining industry: the challenge of financing the cutting and polishing stages. Many miners possess valuable stocks of rough gemstones but find themselves constrained by a lack of working capital necessary for processing their inventory, due to the substantial capital investments required in their mining activities. This predicament typically forces them into a corner where they must either sell their rough gemstones at a fraction of their potential value to intermediaries – losing out on the significant markup (up to two to five times) achievable post-polishing – or resort to selling lower-quality rough stones to fund their operations, thus withholding premium-quality gemstones from the market. Additionally, miners are hamstrung by the difficulty of leveraging their physical stock as collateral for loans.

In response to these challenges, our solution presents miners with an unparalleled opportunity to realise the full value of their gemstones. By participating in our structured program, miners can convert their stock of coloured gemstones into bankable and tradable exchange-listed certificates. This innovation not only empowers the gemstone mining community by alleviating financial constraints but also allows our investment offerings to tap a steady flow of top-tier gemstones.

In collaboration with esteemed institutional partners such as CMS and Société Générale, we have established a scalable securitisation platform in Luxembourg. The management team includes the former Deputy Prime Minister of Luxembourg. Through this platform, we offer exchange-listed, asset-backed, secured, and short-termed investment products.

Ancient Asset

A New Asset Class

Cut and polished coloured gemstones have long been regarded as a captivating and valuable asset, celebrated for their enduring beauty, inherent exclusivity, historical significance, and excellent value retention.

While coloured gemstones are compelling as refined assets, the ultimate value increase results from the beneficiation of rough gemstones into high-value cut and polished gems.

With a substantial stock of rough gemstones secured, quantumrock is establishing an exciting new asset class that presents a rare opportunity for professional investors to participate in this uncorrelated value generation.

Value-add opportunity

The Ultimate Value Increase Is Achieved During The Polishing Phase

Polished coloured gemstones have shown good value appreciation in the past, however the ultimate value increase results from the expert beneficiation of rough gemstones into cut and polished gems, which can unlock significant value appreciation with increases in gemstone value of up to 5x (pre-cost).

By owning and controlling the entire value-add process from the mine to the finished product, we efficiently and effectively capture the generated value.

Important Disclaimer: Please be aware that the value of a polished gemstone is influenced by several key factors, such as its rarity, colour, clarity, cut, carat weight, origin, and market demand. Consequently, the value multiple estimations shown on this slide are based on expert experience, and the actual results may vary significantly. The projected increase in value is determined by two main factors: 1. the composition, qualities, and sizes of the structure’s stones and 2. the initial value of the rough gemstones.
