Understanding the Art IPO

Designed for asset managers, asset owners, wealth managers, private banks, and family offices within Europe, this digital panel evaluated the investment opportunity offered by traditional shares in high-value art. Grounded in the financial context, this discussion explored the mechanics of the Art IPO, with a focus on risk management, liquidity and secondary markets, and the evolving regulatory landscape. The conversation covered investing in this way, and the challenges still to be overcome before it can go mainstream.
