Why Invest in Art?
Investment-grade art is more than just about diversifying your portfolio, it's a proven way to grow and protect your wealth. Here's why smart investors are adding art to their portfolios.
Better growth than stocks
- The Artprice100 Index of the top 100 artists has delivered higher returns than the S&P500 and Euro Stoxx 100 since 2000
- Institutional investors and wealth managers now consider art a viable part of a diversified portfolio.
Art market growth vs. stock market
A global market
- More than US$65 billion traded annually driven by auctions, galleries, and private transactions.
- Ultra-high-net-worth individuals allocate 1-5% of their wealth to art, similar to gold.
Resists market uncertainty
- During the 2008 financial crisis, stocks dropped 37.5% while art lost just 4.5%.
- Art is uncorrelated to traditional asset classes, making it a powerful hedge against market volatility.
A tangible, enjoyable asset
