Are you a resident of Franklin? looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they would currently invest $100,000, and many of them had the same answer: art.
Think you can’t afford a Picasso? In 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of works of art. A company called Masterworks.io has built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares in companies like Apple, but this investing app lets you unlock this powerful investment.
That means you can invest in shares of million-dollar works of art. And it turns out that art can be a wise investment in uncertain times. Here’s why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary Art Historically Returns 23.2% if inflation is > 3%
- Contemporary Art Awards Outperformed the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Franklin Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
