But Billionaires Didn’t Wait. Now’s Your Chance.

In the year 2000, the future had arrived — you could buy an iMac G3 at $999 and the S&P 500 at its all time high of 1,527.

But once the bubble burst, the market didn’t see that level again for seven long years after rebounding from the crash.

They peaked again at 1,565 just before the Great Financial Crisis.

…only to fall 57% to 676 by the Spring of 2009.

And on its climb back up, it didn’t break 1,500 again until well into 2013.

That means that if you’d bought the S&P 500 at peak 1999 levels, you would’ve had to wait 14 years to even start to see that investment grow.

Now, with the Mag 7 and the AI bubble? The Shiller P/E has crossed 40x for the first time since ‘99…

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley both just came out to caution investors to expect a 10–20% “normal” market correction for the near term.

After all, a Vanguard report projects ~5% S&P returns through 2034. 
Goldman Sachs disagrees, though. They say 3%.

So, whether you believe the stock market warnings from leaders like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Vanguard, JP Morgan, State Street, Apollo, the IMF, Jerome Powell, Morningstar, UBS, Blackstone, BlackRock, Warren Buffett, and the Wall Street Journal or not…

Here’s your opportunity to diversify with the same historically exclusive asset class as billionaires like Bezos and Gates.

Sadly, you couldn’t get it in 2007. 

And you definitely couldn’t get it in 1999.

But now, over 70,000 investors have diversified with shares of iconic artworks featuring legendary artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. 

It’s all thanks to Masterworks, the premiere art investing platform founded in 2017.

You see, post war and contemporary art prices have not only outpaced the S&P overall since 1995, but they also behaved independently of whatever’s happened in other markets.

It’s huge. 

It’s global.

And now, it’s accessible to add to your portfolio. 

Thousands have already seen annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% from 23 sales to date.*

And while other markets are setting all time highs, the art market is beginning to see an upward correction following an unprecedented 3-year lull. 

The whole time, Masterworks has been acquiring hundreds of legendary works.

As a Barchart reader, you can skip their waitlist and see why investors have allocated over $1.2 billion to over 500 offerings in blue-chip art.

Art correlation and appreciation data based on repeat-sales index of historical Post-War & Contemporary Art market prices and S&P 500 annualized return (includes dividends reinvested) from 1995 to 2024, developed by Masterworks. There are significant limitations to comparative asset class data. Indices are unmanaged and a Masterworks investor cannot invest directly in an index.  Individuals mentioned are not investors in Masterworks offerings.  Their affiliation with art/artists is not an endorsement of Masterworks.

Masterworks internally appraises artworks and obtains an independent review of appraisals by a third-party appraiser on a quarterly basis. The objective of an appraisal is to determine the Fair Market Value of the subject artwork, which is equal to the price property would sell for on the open market between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither being required to act, and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, consistent with the standards set forth in IRS Publication 561. Valuation is heavily reliant on an analysis of sales history of similar artwork. 

Masterworks, LLC is located at 1 World Trade Center, 57th Floor, New York, NY 10007.
