Investing in art can be a powerful hedge against inflation, and you don’t need millions to buy it.
The current state of the economy should concern all investors.
Inflation is still high, the stock market remains shaky, and investment firms like JP Morgan warn that a recession could be just 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 you hedge against inflation, protect your wealth from downside risk, and potentially improve your returns.
Thanks to a disruptive startup, a premier alternative investment has finally been made accessible to everyday investors: fine art.
Consistent historical performance
You probably don’t think of art when you think of alternative assets, but according to research from masterpiecescontemporary art has outperformed the S&P 500 by 131% over the past 26 years, and has outperformed both real estate and gold by more than three to one over the same period.
Also, according to Citi, art has a close to zero correlation with stocks. This is why many investors use art as a hedge against market volatility.
But for years, art has been ignored by many regular investors, due to the high price it costs to buy many of the most profitable paintings.
All that is changing thanks to masterpiecesa revolutionary investment platform that allows anyone to invest in shares of multi-million dollar paintings by famous artists such as Picasso, Banksy and Basquiat.
Becoming an art investor
All you have to do is select which shares you want invest and Masterworks will take care of the rest.
First, they use their revolutionary pricing database to help find paintings with a high price drive, so they only buy the paintings they think have the best chance of success.
Masterworks then divides the painting into $20 shares, giving investors an easy way to invest in a great masterpiece.
Finally they retain the painting for 3-10 years, until they find the right moment to sell it.
Once they sell, they distribute the profits.
It’s a simple and safe way to invest in this unique asset and the results so far have been impressive.
