Risks and returns
Past performance shows lower risk
The art market has remained resilient in 2020 despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. In the first seven months of the year, it outperformed most asset classes, with Contemporary art achieving the strongest gains. Low interest rates, ongoing digitization, and the growing recognition of art's significance in investment portfolio diversification, contribute to the positive outlook for the art market.
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.
