ABOUT
What is
an ART FUND?
an ART FUND?
Art funds are privately offered investment funds dedicated to the generation of returns through the acquisition and disposition of works of art. Art funds offer many unique advantages to investors.
The value of fine art is generally uncorrelated with traditional financial markets, providing a means of diversifying portfolios, and hedging against market downturn and inflation. Art typically holds its value, especially on the higher end, and has consistent performance returns, which are very attractive characteristics to investors.

Strategies
Strategies
The Art Fund employs a diversified investment approach using more than one strategy simultaneously to realize gains for the fund’s investors. In doing so, we can optimize the fund’s various strategies to reflect trends in, and to capitalize on available opportunities within, the art market:
- Traditional “Buy and Hold”, onto valuable pieces for an extended period of time to benefit from appreciation over time
- “Geographic Arbitrage”, aims to exploit differences in price realization for certain artists’ works in different geographic locations
- “Artwork Driven” strategy seeks to profit from issues impacting a specific artwork’s offered price
- “Regional Art” strategy concentrates on investing in art from a particular geographic region (i.e., European art)
- “Period Strategies”, focuses on investing in a particular period of art (modern, contemporary, impressionist, etc.)
- “Intrinsic Value” involves investing in works by artists perceived to be selling at deep discounts to their actual value
- “Distressed Art” focuses on the acquisition of artworks at deep discounts from collectors facing bankruptcy or insolvency
- “Bulk buying” involves buying large lots of art in order to attain better pricing and lower transaction cost
Our experts evaluate the assets intended to be used as loan collateral and provide capital based on a loan to value (LTV) ratio of typically 50-70% of its current secondary market value. Upon execution, we take possession of the asset and store the asset and wire the capital.
Any assets we take possession of are stored in secure locations with the utmost care and privacy. Our interest rates are, on average, 2-4% per month based on the asset type, loan amount, and term of the loan requested by our clients. Upon repayment of the principal loan and any outstanding monthly fees, we return the asset or can maintain storage until clients decide to draw capital again.

Agency Brokerage
The Fund can also serve as a trusted third-party intermediary on behalf of the seller or the buyer, to keep the confidentiality of each party and security of the deal. We believe in using escrows for all safe transactions.
Escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party, known as the escrow agent, holds funds or assets on behalf of the buyer and seller until specific conditions are met.
Escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party, known as the escrow agent, holds funds or assets on behalf of the buyer and seller until specific conditions are met.
In high-value art transactions, escrow services provide an added layer of security and trust. The buyer deposits the funds into an escrow account, and the seller transfers the artwork to the buyer. The escrow agent holds the funds until the buyer verifies the artwork’s authenticity, condition, and other agreed=upon criteria. Once the buyer confirms their satisfaction, the funds are released to the seller.
Consignment
art-secured loans
We believe that people who own valuable assets should be able to borrow against them with speed, privacy, and impeccable service. Banks do not provide these personal asset loans.
