OUR MISSION
To create an environment where collectors can access the financial value of their art
Our mission is to enable our institutional and retail clients to consider art as a financial asset, with transparency and confidence.
We want to open up the world of fine art to facilitate art-backed lending. To do this we need to build trust among lenders and insurers around the world, transforming fine art into a stable asset class of its own.
We are active across the USA, Europe, and Asia, and are working with a deep network of lenders, auction houses and insurers.
Who we are
We are a team of experts across finance, the art market and data science. We are pioneers in the use of proven technology in the valuation of art
