Art investing is no longer reserved for the wealthy.

Investing in art can be a powerful inflation hedge - and you don’t need millions to buy in.

The current state of the economy should have every investor worried.

Inflation is still running hot, the stock market is still shaky and investment firms like JP Morgan are warning that recession could be right around the corner.

But that doesn’t mean you should stop investing — you just need a different strategy.

According to The Wall Street Journal, that strategy starts with investing in alternative assets. Alternative assets — assets like gold, commodities and art — can help hedge against inflation, protect your wealth from downside risk and potentially enhance your returns.

Thanks to one disruptive start-up, one top-tier alternative investment has finally been made accessible to everyday investors — fine art.

Consistent historical performance

You probably don’t think about art when you think about alternative assets, but according to research from Masterworks, contemporary art has outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% over the past 26 years, and it’s outpaced both real estate and gold by more than three to one over the same period.

Plus, according to Citi, art has a near zero correlation to stocks. Which is why many investors use art as a hedge against market volatility.

But for years, art has been ignored by many regular investors, because of the steep price it costs to buy many of the most investable paintings.

That’s all changing thanks to Masterworks, a revolutionary investing platform that lets anyone invest in shares of multi-million dollar paintings from famous artists like Picasso, Banksy and Basquiat.

Becoming an art investor

All you have to do is select which shares you want to invest in and Masterworks will handle the rest.

First, they use their revolutionary price database to help find paintings with high price momentum, so they only buy the paintings that they believe have the best chance of success.

Then Masterworks slices the painting up into $20 shares, giving investors an easy way to invest in a great masterpiece.

Finally they hold the painting for 3-10 years, until they find the opportune time to sell.

Once they sell, they distribute the profits.

It’s a simple, secure way to invest in this exclusive asset and so far the results have been impressive.

In just a few short years, they’ve completed 11 winning exits, with annualized returns like 10.4% on a Warhol, 13.9% on a Pierre Soulages and 35% on a Cecily Brown.

In 2022 alone, they delivered $25.8 million in returns to investors.

Still unsure? Take a cue from one of their recent investors, Jake F.: ““I’m already seeing positive returns. I love Masterworks and trust them 100%.”

It only takes seconds to apply for Masterworks — and you can be on your way to adding this exclusive asset to your portfolio.
