Timing is Everything.
Artemundi Global Fund offers a financial instrument to the prudent and sophisticated investors who finds reassurance in tangible assets that are rare and unique.
As with so much in life and in matters of the mind, heart and money, timing is everything. Masterworks have consistently appreciated in value, over the long term. But, it wasn’t very long ago that the price of quality art was rising at an unsustainable level. Speculators and the extremely wealthy drove up the prices of Old Masters and blue chip Impressionist & Modern Art sales, which is why an unusual percentage of lots sold well above the estimates. The auction rule of thumb that for every five lots one does not sell, one sells against the reserve, two sell within the estimate and one sells above it, became all but irrelevant. In short, until quite recently, opportunities to purchase fine works of art at sensible levels were few and far between.
In today’s environment, everything has changed. As the art market actively recovers back to pre-crisis levels, we believe that Artemundi Global Fund has been launched at an ideal time. With a goal to acquire works of top caliber at competitive prices, AGF profits from arbitrage while the art market is still in recovery. As one of the few assets currently on the rise and generally uncorrelated to traditional investments, art proves to be a valuable tool in diversifying a traditional investment portfolio while also providing intellectual and emotional pleasure that few other investments yield.
