Top-quality Art as a Diversified Investment
Event Details
Top-quality art has been an important component of UHNWI’s financial asset allocation for generations given its low correlation with traditional asset classes and attractive risk-adjusted returns. However, due to market’s high entry barriers this attractive asset class has been inaccessible to most investors until now.
We will cover:
- An overview of the global art market and its dynamics
- Art’s relevance within a financial asset allocation
- Art’s financial vs. cultural attributes
- A definition of “top-quality” art and its relevance
- The challenges and opportunities of adding art to a financial portfolio
- A specific case study of how to get exposure to top-quality art investments
This webinar qualifies for up to 1 PL credit. CFA Society Switzerland members can record PL credit for their participation using the online tracking tool (CFA Institute login required).
