$17.7 Billion Year Highlights Safe Haven Asset 

For 2023, investors have one New Year’s resolution: Stop. Losing. Money. From “transitory” inflation, to millennial Bernie Madoff 2.0, 2022 was a wildddd ride in the markets. That is, except for one market.

The blue-chip art market. In fact, art auctions hauled in nearly $18 billion in 2022. The best year ever in a 277-year old market – all while financial markets tanked. 

Now you’re probably wondering: “That’s great,  but how can someone like me (if your last name is Bezos pls ignore) get in on the action?” 

There’s one company that I’ve been talking about for over 2 years, that I personally invest with, called Masterworks. They securitize artworks by qualifying offerings with the SEC, allowing YOU to invest in shares of multi-million dollar paintings by names like Banksy

Masterworks has also built a solid track record with all 11 of their exits netting a profit, the last 3 realizing +13.9%, +35.0%, and +10.4% net returns each. As a trusted partner, The Defiant readers can skip the waitlist to join here
