Are you a Three Village resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? In 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this robust investment.

This means you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out; that that fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Three Village Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
