ART MARKET

Art has established itself as an asset class in recent decades. Due to the uncertainties on the capital markets and against the background of a recommendable asset diversification, art remains a strong focus. Through the independent performance of traditional investments such as equities, bonds and real estate, the acquisition of art can ideally complement any well-structured portfolio.

  • Market volume: ≥ € 50 billion p.a. 
  • Rising numbers of visitors to museums, trade fairs (Art Basel / Paris Photo) & international art exhibitions
  • Entry of financial institutions (UBS, Banque Pictet/Carlyle, Morgan Stanley/Blue Rider Group, etc.) 
  • Stable value over the centuries despite crises and wars 
  • Performance of art hardly correlates with financial markets 
  • Manageable low maintenance costs after the purchase of art
