impact Investment Strategy

Arte Collectum’s investment strategy focuses on artists historically overlooked due to gender, ethnicity or geographical location. Despite their quality, such works have often been undervalued. In recent years, this segment of the market has grown exponentially, with prices rising dramatically – and room for significant continued growth and new discoveries ahead.

STRATEGY IN ACTION

Portfolios are globally diversified, focusing on internationally established artists traded in major art hubs such as New York, London, and Hong Kong.
The Investment Committee leverages an exceptional network to access and acquire works from leading galleries in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Funds are directed toward acquiring top works from selected artists.
The Investment Committee identifies artists and artworks with strong potential value growth over the next 5–10 years.
Value is enhanced through collaborations with prominent museums and galleries for exhibitions and publications.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ARTWORKS

Arte Collectum actively lends artworks to leading museums and exhibitions worldwide, making them more accessible to the public while increasing the visibility and value of the funds’ artists. By harnessing our unique expertise and networks, we ensure these works reach curators and are featured in publications including journals, catalogs, and books, further building provenance and promoting the artists.

VISITOR NUMBERS, Q1 2025

Visitors have attended exhibitions featuring artworks from the Arte Collectum I collection. This not only reinforces the cultural and financial value of the artworks but also demonstrates Arte Collectum's commitment to making art more accessible to the public.

Our book, Arte Collectum I – Other Stories, presents the artworks and artists from our first fund through their exhibition and publication histories. The volume serves as both a record and an extension of Arte Collectum’s mission, connecting curators, collectors, and institutions in the global art and financial markets while amplifying the voices of underrepresented artists.
