Part 2: Is fine art investment only for the wealthy? Traditionally, yes due to high price points of iconic pieces and the associated costs of owning, insuring, and storing the artwork. But platforms like Masterworks are transforming this dynamic by introducing fractional investing. This lets regular investors buy shares of high-value artwork without costing a dime. Some benefits of investing in fine art: - It’s an uncorrelated asset, so it can go up when the markets dip and down when they rise. - If things take a turn for the worse, art could offer more protection than just keeping cash in the bank. With bonds and cash becoming riskier, more people are turning to alternative assets like art. But, beware of the downsides too: - Fraud risk: It's lower than it used to be, but it’s still there. So it’s important to deal with trusted, reputable agent/people. - It isn’t as easy to sell as ETFs, stocks and cash. So, it should be held as one component of a wider portfolio, not a big one. And before jumping into art investment, make sure you’ve taken care of some basic financial stuff first, like paying off high-interest credit card debt, building an emergency fund, and setting up a 401(k) or IRA.
