Market Insights: Candel's $80M Offering, Costco's Sales Surge, and Key Dividend Increases 📈

In partnership with

Billionaires wanted it, but 66,930 everyday investors got it first.

When incredibly valuable assets come up for sale, it's typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always…

One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and securitizing some of the most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors.

It's called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Basquiat. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 23 it's already sold – investors reap their portion of the net proceeds.

In just the last few years, Masterworks investors have realized net annualized returns like +17.6%, +17.8%, and +21.5% (from 3 illustrative sales held longer than one year).

Past performance not indicative of future returns. Investing Involves Risk. See Important Disclosures at masterworks.com/cd.
