Investment in Art and Collectibles - Market Outlook, Opportunities and Challenges

 
In recent years, returns from art and collectibles’ investments have surpassed many traditional asset classes. Reports indicate that sales in the global art market have quadrupled in the past 2 decades and now there are around 90 million active investors in the space.
 
This special asset class has grown in interest among global investors, and is making a regular appearance in investors’ asset allocation decisions.
 
There are many key questions in the minds of potential art investors - How has the art investment market evolved in the past couple of decades? Where is it heading? What are the investment characteristics or potential opportunities and pitfalls? And how do we execute art investments?

Please join us at our CAIA Hong Kong Chapter Education Event "Investment in Art and Collectibles - Market Outlook, Opportunities and Challenges” – where our esteemed speakers will be addressing these imperative questions.
