Allen Sukholitsky, Chief Investment Officer at MW Capital Group makes the case for investing in art, and weighs in on how advisors can leverage the asset class to diversify their portfolio, enhance returns and mitigate risk.
While institutions and ultra high net-worth investors have enjoyed the benefits of art collecting for centuries, high price tags and purchases fees have made the asset class inaccessible for most investors. According to Masterwork’s research, art is one of the largest private unsecuritized asset classes and represents a roughly $1.7 trillion market cap. Art offers a strong historical track record, low correlation to traditional asset classes and serves as a truly differentiated diversifier.
MW Capital Group’s Diversified Art Portfolio focuses on the contemporary art sector, and allocates to securities of underlying single asset issuers, providing clients with broad diversification benefits and access.
Masterworks, founded in 2017, set out with the mission of democratizing art investing and today is one of the largest art buyers in the industry. Masterworks was the first firm to securitize a painting with the SEC, and is supported by an in-house macro and quantitative research team directing art acquisitions and sales. MW Capital Group, a part of Masterworks, serves the advisor community and offers a number of diversified art investment solutions.
