Finally, if you're looking to diversify your investment portfolio, check out AMASS, the platform that lets you invest in premium spirits and fast-growing alcohol assets typically reserved for insiders. It’s a unique way to build long-term wealth and expand your alternative investments 👇
Join Derek Jeter and Adam Levine
They’re both investors in AMASS Brands Group. You can join them and get up to 23% bonus stock. But only if you invest by Thursday, Dec. 4.
Why invest? They’re growing fast. Their brands cover everything from organic wine to protein seltzers. So with consumers seeking healthier options in the $900B beverage market, it’s no surprise AMASS has made over $80M to date, including 1,000% year-over-year growth.
They have even more ambitious plans for the future too. They’ve reserved the Nasdaq ticker $AMSS, enlisted a major investment bank to fuel their growth, and plan to 3X their retail footprint by 2028.
But your chance to amplify your investment with bonus stock ends soon. Become an AMASS Brands Group shareholder and secure your bonus stock by Dec. 4.
