What Splint Invest does

Splint Invest, operated by MARK Investment Holding AG and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, is a mobile-first FinTech platform that enables individual investors to acquire fractional co-ownership in physical alternative assets starting from a €50 minimum. The platform issues digital certificates — branded "splints" — that represent proportional ownership in assets held and managed by Splint Invest, with professional storage and insurance bundled into each investment. Across 13+ asset categories including rare whisky, fine wine, luxury watches, Hermès handbags, art, classic cars, diamonds, trading cards, sneakers, movie props, sports memorabilia, and precious metals, the platform has released 678 assets and channeled approximately €40M in cumulative investment volume as of November 2025, with 19,104 active investing users across Switzerland, Germany, and the UK.

The product surface is anchored on the Splint Invest iOS and Android apps and a complementary web portal, supported by a weekly secondary market that enables peer-to-peer trading of splints prior to the predefined exit of the underlying asset. Asset selection, authentication, and valuation are performed by an in-house team of certified financial analysts supported by a network of external expert partners (Procura London, WineFi, The 1916 Company, Artemundi). The legal and regulatory framework is Swiss — MARK Investment Holding AG is a member of VQF (No. 100956), the Swiss Financial Services Standards Association — and operations span three currencies (EUR, CHF, GBP).

The business model is transaction-based: Splint Invest charges a 2% fee on secondary market trades (collected from sellers), a 2% sales fee when the underlying asset is sold at the end of its investment horizon, and a service fee added to the asset purchase price that covers storage and insurance. There are no subscription or platform fees. The go-to-market is product-led and community-driven, relying on app-store distribution, content marketing, earned media coverage in Swiss financial press, customer testimonials, and Trustpilot social proof rather than direct sales. Distribution is entirely digital with no physical locations.
