Understanding Art as an Asset Class
How does art actually behave as an investment, and what classifications are investable? Scott Lynn, Masterworks' founder and CEO, built the firm's acquisition and pricing process and has spent over a decade making the data-driven case for art as a real allocation. Mikeal Parsons, Head of Research, brings the return data, correlation studies, and index work behind that case. Together they cover where art's returns actually come from, how the asset has correlated with public markets, and where the comparison to other assets holds and where it doesn't.
