Together with Masterworks

A Banksy got everyday investors 32% returns?

Mm-hmm, sure. So, what’s the catch? 

We know it may sound too good to be true. But thousands of investors are already smiling all the way to the bank, thanks to the fine-art investing platform Masterworks.  

These results aren’t cherry-picking. This is the whole bushel. Masterworks has built a track record of 16 exits, including net returns of +10.4%, +27.3%, and +35.0%, even while financial markets plummeted.

But art? Really? Okay, skeptics, here are the numbers. Contemporary art prices:

• outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% over the last 26 years

• have the lowest correlation to equities of any asset class

César Ritz

César Ritz was the best hotelier of his time.

Rising from humble beginnings in a poor family in a small town, he would go on to run hotels, including his own, that served the wealthiest and most glamorous people of his generation.

Vanderbilts, Rothschilds, and numerous royalty preferred his hotels above all else.

It’s easy to see why.

His high standards, attention to detail, and anticipation of his guests’ needs built the foundation of a hotel empire.

I read the phenomenal book Ritz & Escoffier: The Hotelier, The Chef & the Rise of the Leisure Class by Luke Barr for this deep dive, a book I highly suggest, and am sharing Ritz’s story and a few lessons with you today.

Let’s get to it.
