Good morning Member

Hereâs an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades
If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capitalâŠ
Ever invest in something you know will have low returnsâjust for the sake of diversifying?
CDs⊠Bonds⊠REITs⊠:(
Sure, these âboringâ investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:
Itâs been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.
It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*
Itâs not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, itâs postwar and contemporary art.
And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.
23 exits to date
$1,245,000,000+ invested
Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%
