  • The Benefits of Investing in Art

     

     

    The Benefits of Investing in Art

    Tangible  Asset

    Art is a great tangible investment as it will always be a physical asset with the capacity to preserve value. In times of uncertainty or financial distress, other more liquid assets tend to fall more quickly and recover slower, evidenced in the financial crash of 2008.

     

    Pleasure

    Unlike other forms of investment art can give immeasurable long-term joy alongside the potential of financial return if you decide to sell in the future.

     

    Collecting can be a lifelong passion and in a dynamic market there are many opportunities to discover new artists or attain a sought after artwork.

     

    Diversification

    Since the art market is not correlated to the performance of major stock markets it can be a useful way to diversify your investment portfolio. The art market has been known to grow even during times of economic uncertainty, making it an ideal choice for investment in the good times and the bad.

     

    Financial Return

    Art has the potential to deliver a very good financial return, but it must also be said, as with any investment it can result in a loss. Between 2000 and 2018 Artnet’s Index for the Top 100 Artists produced an 8% present Compound Annual Growth Rate, compared with 3% for the S&P500.
