Artemundi, founded by art investor Javier Lumbreras in 1989, has offered 19 artworks on Splint Invest since 2023. All five exits so far closed with a gain, with an average realised net return of +19.8% per exit after fees. Here are the facts, the portfolio and every exit in detail.

Stamps and coins are among the oldest collectible markets. Rare, high-grade pieces from established niches can stay resilient. Common material often has little resale value. Market maturity brings good data, but demand has shifted in some areas.

Some vintage toys sell for high prices, but most do not. Value depends on rarity, condition, original packaging and nostalgia-driven demand. Investors should not assume broad appreciation across the category.

Style alone does not decide value. Both figurative and abstract art include works that sell for very high prices. Collector demand, artist reputation and the quality of the individual work matter more than the label.

Regional art markets differ in liquidity, price transparency and growth. The US and the UK are the deepest and most transparent. Continental Europe is broad and well established. Asia is large and growing. Latin America is smaller and less transparent.

Old Masters usually offer more price stability and a long record of sales. Emerging artists offer higher potential upside but far more uncertainty. The right choice depends on budget, time horizon and the expertise an investor can access.
