Reasons to Invest in Art
Capital Growth Potential
When isolated the contemporary art segment of the Mei Moses Art Index reveals that contemporary art has delivered a compounded average annual return of 10.85% per annum between 1966 and 2016.
Fully Asset Backed
Investing in a piece of Art means your investment is Fully Asset Backed. When you invest in a piece of Art you become the owner of a tangible asset which will always, unlike some other investments such as stocks and shares, have a residual value.
Satisfaction of Ownership
Investing in a piece of art won’t yield an income as it’s a capital growth orientated investment. Instead your dividend is the ability to enjoy owning your piece of art by living with it hanging in your home or even in your office.
Diversification
The global art market is by and large completely uncorrelated to the world’s major stock markets. It can therefore be used by investors as an excellent portfolio diversification tool in times of economic uncertainty.
Inflation
Investing in Art can be an excellent hedge against inflation, as shown in the graph below. At the time of writing (October 2017) inflation has just hit a 5 year high of 3%.
