Themes for 2012 from Fine Art Wealth Management
As we enter 2012 we find the global financial markets in a state of accelerating change and uncertainty. A new generation of investor is emerging for which art and other investments of passion are increasingly becoming an important component of their wealth preservation strategy.
Fine Art Wealth Management plans to be at the forefront of these new developments throughout 2012 with the singular vision to bring unique training and educational programmes, art fund intelligence, research, and bespoke financial planning to families of exceptional art wealth.
Looking forward to the year ahead we can expect a number of themes emerging:
- Art and other passion investment vehicles will continue to grow and evolve in 2012 primarily appealing to sophisticated investors as part of a portfolio diversification strategy.
- Investors will intensify their scrutiny of alternative investments and are expected to conduct even more rigorous due-diligence.
- In 2012 we expect to see a growth of managed art accounts offered by art fund managers targeting high net worth individuals which are personalised and tailored to their specific needs.
- The number of art funds from developing economies will increase and will be directly linked to the economic expansion in these countries and the emergence of a new generation of wealth.
- Art as an alternative investment will gain momentum in 2012 primarily from investor disappointment in financial assets and growing demand for "real assets" which offer a long term store of value.
On behalf of all of us at Fine Art Wealth Management we look forward to working with you in 2012!
