Film – The Low Risk Alternative to Financial Markets Investments?

It’s rare that you can argue that an Australian feature film provides a low risk alternative to stocks, bonds and property but with the turmoil in the financial markets as a result of the coronavirus that may well be the case.

If you google businesses that do well in a recession you will often find Movie Theatres at the top of a list that also includes liquor, cosmetics, tattoo parlours, candy and so on. We are living in a strange environment at the moment but soon it will end. And when it does, when we emerge from our COVID-19 caves, we will probably have watched the whole catalogue on Netflix, Stan and Amazon and be ready for something new.

But despite the growing need for film content, for Wallace Media Group it’s their strict quantitative development process combined with the 100% tax deduction and priority investment recoupment that has minimised the risk for investors.

“I have a 25 year background in the financial markets with banks such as Citigroup, UBS and Westpac but it was my time as a hedge fund owner with Excalibur Funds Management that really taught me about managing risk” – WMG CEO James Wallace said.

Their first project for 2020, Molly The Magnificent, is a beautiful Australian story reminiscent of The Castle and Little Miss Sunshine written by James Wallace and Glenn Fraser (Director) and starring Kate Fitzpatrick and Madeleine West.

The film is nearing completion of funding with just $260k required of the $1.5mil budget.

For those in the position to take advantage of the 100% tax deduction and invest in the film – think of it also as supporting Australian gig workers, most of whom have fallen through the gaps in the stimulus package. Molly The Magnificent will employ around 100 people (35 crew / 35 actors / 30 extras). Our second film, BROKERS, will provide jobs for over 300 industry contractors.

We invite you to take a look at the material in the Deal Room at the following link which includes the video of the presentation at Emergence 2020 a few weeks ago and support us to make a great Australian film.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
