Art as an investment opportunity
Since 2012, we have been seeking investment opportunities in the domestic and global art markets.
We curate a portfolio of carefully selected works of art that we believe will experience significant appreciation in the future while relying on advanced economic analysis methods and a deep understanding of the artistic works we invest in.
All our activities are conducted under the supervision and regulation of the Czech National Bank, to ensure the highest level of transparency and accountability.

DIVERSIFICATION
We take great care to invest only in truly exceptional works of art. For us, the key to a successful portfolio lies in its diversification.
While our portfolio is built on established artists who have demonstrated a continuous growth in value over time, we are also willing to take calculated risks on up-and-coming artists whose talents have yet to be fully recognized by the market.
In addition to investing in a variety of artists, we also diversify across different styles and time periods. We balance classic modernist and post-war art with pieces from old masters and the latest creations from contemporary artists with significant potential for high returns.
