Investors

AWE’s key role in minimising our investors’ risk and maximising their return, is to assess whether the film carries enough value to, in worst-case scenario, be able to hit the break-even position. AWE charges a premium on any investment it makes; so even if we hit a break-even position, the built-in premium means that the investor has still made a premium on their money, even in today’s volatile market conditions, and got their principal investment back.

This is obviously a worst-case position but in order to protect our investors, we always operate from a worst-case position.

It’s not rocket science, but it does require passion and due diligence to get the formula right, and it’s all based on minimising risk as much as possible.

In other words, with AWE, investors know exactly how and when they will see their money back – independent of the actual performance of the film (the asset).

In summary, what makes us different from traditional film investment is:

1. AWE provides 100% funding. In doing so, positions itself as the senior lender and thus in first position for recoupment of all monies (prior to other third parties). This means investors get their premium and money back before anyone else.
2. Investors achieve an average ROI premium of 10%. This is a good return on investment in today’s volatile market.
3. AWE’s film investment model ensures investors know how, where and when they are to recoup their money. This means regardless of the performance of the film, a worst-case scenario is that investors will get a minimum return on the investment.
