Art and Collectibles Investing

Description

Art and collectibles can be an asset, but they behave differently from shares or bonds. These ten PDF lessons start by explaining how art works as an investment and how the art market is organised, then look at how to evaluate artists and their potential.

You then set a strategy and budget, learn how pieces are found and authenticated, and build a collection step by step. Later lessons cover managing risk, provenance and documentation, deciding when to buy, hold or sell, and caring for a collection over the long term. A couple of lessons include checklists you can adapt for your own purchases.

Who it is for: beginners who want to consider art or collectibles as part of their investments.
