New Art Investment Strategy - Collaboration with ZURANI
We are excited to announce a strategic collaboration between Splint Invest and ZURANI - Art Asset Management, a renowned firm advising prestigious clients, including the Royal Private Family Office of H.H Sheikh Ahmed Bin Faisal Al Qassimi, on art collection and investment strategies. Together, we are introducing an innovative art investment strategy designed for users looking to capitalise on undervalued blue-chip works by world-renowned artists such as Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Jean Michel Basquiat.
A New Investment Strategy Focused on Blue-Chip Art
This collaboration will allow our users to invest in iconic blue-chip works that are carefully selected for their investment potential. The strategy focuses on identifying undervalued pieces that can be resold within a holding period of 6 months to 2 years, providing investors with liquidity and flexibility, unlike traditional art investments, which often require longer commitments.
The liquidity of blue-chip artists' works is exceptionally high, with numerous exit opportunities due to hundreds of thousands of collectors worldwide. Additionally, thanks to ZURANI’s expertise and ability to secure pieces below market value, these investments are expected to offer above-average returns, all while maintaining a lower risk profile, especially compared to contemporary art. This combination of shorter holding periods, high liquidity, and favourable purchasing conditions makes it an attractive option for investors seeking solid returns with less risk.
