Our take
In the age of democratising access to financial platforms, Masterworks epitomises the trend through its platform, which breaks down the walls to art investment. Traditionally guarded by old institutions and reserved for the uber-rich, the company supplies a way for retail investors to access the space by pioneering the ‘fractionalising’ of art pieces.
Through Masterworks, SEC-qualified paintings by names like Banksy, Monet, and Picasso are portioned, allowing retailers to hold just a percentage of the piece via its platform. Having acquired over 100 assets, worth a total of hundreds of millions of dollars, the company has scaled well and remained agile as it capitalises on the ever-increasing popularity of alternative assets.
The company has also focussed on building out its technological capabilities. For instance, by leveraging proprietary data - acquired from becoming one of the most important buyers on the market - Masterworks believes it can deliver increased returns for its retail investors, adding further value to its platform that should attract and retain users.
