Art As An Alternative Asset Investment
While world capital markets remain extremely volatile with high risks, the market for art has grown steadily. Increasing world wealth and the emergence of new private and institutional buyers indicate that the demand for art should continue to grow. Since 1985 the AMR Art 100 index has provided an average annual return of 10%. During the same period the MSCI world equity index has returned an average annual return of 5.9%. It should be noted that the higher returns also come with lower volatility. Fine art as an asset class offers several further attractive characteristics including generally low correlation with other assets such as stocks, bonds, property and gold. This low correlation makes art an excellent tool for portfolio diversification. Furthermore given current concerns about a depreciating local currency, high government indebtedness and a loose western economic monetary policy, art can provide inflation and currency depreciation protection as a tangible real asset. Art has shown that it can perform better in an inflationary environment that equities.
