Yuri Rutman's NOCICORP Allows Allows Angel Investors To Invest In Film As Alternative Investment

April 21, 2010 - PRLog -- High Yield Investment Opportunities ranging from hedge funds to stock investing to distressed real estate to alternative investments are attracting the attention of both institutional investors as well as Angel Investors looking to bet on the next big investment boom.

But with the recent airing of the Academy Awards as well as the box office receipts in a down economy, many investors are considering their options in Hollywood film finance which offers non-correlated returns, U.S. & international government guaranteed cash back from tax rebates, as well as an absolute ROI.

Chicago's Noci Pictures Entertainment (www.noci.com) is leading the way for wealth advisers, affluent accredited investors and Angel Investors, pension funds, endowments, venture capital, and fund of funds to take advantage of an exclusive opportunity to be movie producers.  "Historically film investors and deals were not structured with any risk minimization", states Yuri Rutman, CEO of Noci. "Investors thought that just by writing a check for any film with any actor, the Vegas odds against them would decrease. Unfortunately the superior returns in film finance and film investing were only successful to deals that had certain actors, certain distributors, and certain genres".

While films such as "Hurt Locker" and even "Avatar" were primarily financed with private equity, the upside in revenues for any private investment in Hollywood comes down to the promoters of the deal.

"There are plenty of billionaires or hedge funds or private equity groups that come into the film business and leave just as quick", Rutman adds.  "Mainly because the partnerships weren't based on precise risk minimization strategies. I don't know of any investment right now aside from film that can offer a guaranteed rate of return before profits, especially if hedged not on a one hit wonder, but spread among 10,20, 50 films".

Noci Pictures' recent announcement of a $300 million dollar film fund to finance. produce, and theatrically distribute 30-50 films over the next 5 years is catching the attention of $10 million institutional investors as well as smaller retail active and accredited investors who wish to diversify their stock, bond, futures, and overall investment portfolios with minimal participation.

"We have a lot of wealth advisers, portfolio managers, financial planners, and accredited investors wanting to be educated about film as an asset class.  A lot of former real estate developers, oil & gas speculators, hedge fund managers, and successful Silicon Valley investors  seem  to understand the model", Rutman adds.  "But when we have investment inquiries coming in from New Zealand, Europe, and Asian investors, the consensus seems to be that they all understand that no matter how the S&P's, DOW, Yen, Bund, or Oil Performs in the markets, people are still going to want to see movies and be entertained".
