Masterworks' mission is to make art investable.
In the age of democratizing access to financial platforms, Masterworks epitomizes 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 ‘fractionalizing’ 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 in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the company has scaled well and remained agile as it capitalizes 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.
