Art as
Wealth Preservation

Because Security Also Equals Returns!

Did You Know that Art Can Be a Highly Effective Strategy for Asset Protection and Capital Preservation?

In a turbulent world where governments are increasingly looking for ways to access your wealth – whether through taxes, expropriation, social programs or regulatory measures – and where loss of purchasing power due to inflation is threatened by money printing, investing in artwork stored in a bonded warehouse is a legal and proven solution to protect your assets.

The Advantage of Tangible Assets

This option is not only for trusts, foundations, or offshore companies, but also for individual investors who want to keep their assets safe and discreet as they face challenges within our uncertain times.

Why is this so important? Because tangible assets such as art offer a unique range of benefits that are invaluable in times of economic uncertainty and volatile financial markets. An outstanding example of this is Deutsche Bank, which has invested in over 55,000 pieces of art by over 5,000 artists.

Hedge Across Generations

First, works of art provide an effective safeguard against inflation. While monetary assets can lose value, tangible assets often retain their value and can even prove to be an inflation-proof investment. Works of art are timeless and can retain or increase their value over generations.

Discrete and Anonymous

Second, they provide much-needed anonymity. Especially in an era where data protection and privacy are becoming increasingly important, tangible assets such as art allow for discreet wealth preservation. Their ownership can be kept out of the public eye, which assures your privacy and security.

A Tangible Asset Understood By Everyone

Third, tangible assets cross international borders. Art is a universal language and internationally recognized. It can easily be moved and traded across national borders. This enables broader diversification and risk spreading, independent of geopolitical developments, currencies, and locations.

Wealth Planning with Tax Advantages

Fourth, tangible assets offer tax advantages. In many countries, investments in works of art can offer tax benefits, including inheritance tax exemption or reduced capital gains taxes. This makes tangible assets a wise choice for long-term wealth planning.

Art Outperforms the Stock Market

No other investment has proven to be as sustainable in capital appreciation as art. The appreciation of artworks remains remarkably stable, even in times of economic turmoil, when conventional investments can record significant losses.

The art market has shown impressive growth, achieving an annual appreciation of over 10.95% for over 20 years, as documented in the Deloitte Art&Finance Report. Our partner has achieved even better results in its art management, with an average appreciation of 11.54% since 2000.

Art in Direct Comparison to the Stock Market

The art market has experienced an extremely positive development in recent decades and enjoys a reputation of being stable and successful. Unlike other financial markets, it shows only minor fluctuations. Art maintains its value over the centuries despite armed conflicts and economic crises.
