Where Rarity

Meets Reason

After a decade in journalism, Anastasia Mac Carthy took the lead in developing GEMVEST, turning its roots in alternative investment consulting into a Singapore-based media platform covering luxury, business, and investment. Based in Singapore, GEMVEST brings together stories about alternative investments, private wealth, art and collectibles, and the people shaping the world of luxury. Our network of correspondents across Europe and Asia helps us connect local perspectives with global trends. With Singapore at our centre, we explore how wealth, culture, and lifestyle intersect. We look at what gives things lasting value, from investment opportunities to art, exceptional places, and meaningful experiences.
