Carefully selected alternative investments offer higher returns than traditional means of depositing assets. Since 2012, the Pro arte Investment Fund has been dedicated to combining advanced economic analysis methods with a profound understanding of art and the expert appraisal of individual works.
“I established the Fund with a firm conviction: I wished to do more than just collect art, I had a desire to share it. In order to achieve this aim, I assembled a team of experts and investors who currently constitute the Fund. Together we enjoy art of the highest quality as well as the fact that its value is constantly growing.”
Expert team
Navigating the art market is a complicated and time-consuming task for any one individual. The Pro arte Investment Fund thus employs experts with many years of experience, capable of analyzing the market and anticipating future developments.
