Performance graph

Risk management

Liquidity

Fine art assets are not traded on a central exchange, which can slow down the process of selling investments. It typically relies on the auction schedules of major players in the art market.

Lack of data

In the art market, accessing reliable sales and provenance data is challenging due to limited transparency and the dominance of certain auction houses.

Costs

Art investments can yield a negative cash flow due to expenses like insurance, storage, and conservation, which typically amount to around 0.3% of the purchase price annually.

Prone to fads

Fine art prices are heavily influenced by trends and cultural shifts. Abstract styles, like those of Kusama, are becoming more popular, replacing traditional impressionist subjects like nature and landscapes.
