Is art a good option for investments?

Art as an asset is being embraced by investors as if it were a newly unearthed

van Gogh. Fine art rewards have been grossly overstated, while the risk has been

grossly understated. Based on the most comprehensive auction record, Blouin Art Sales

Index estimates that the actual annual return on art as an asset class was closer to

6.5%, rather than the index's 10%. The presence of an art fund in someone's portfolio

does not raise the likelihood of the portfolio outperforming. There are various reasons

for selection bias in art. Paintings that are in high demand are more likely to be

auctioned and sell for higher prices. Art investments would not significantly improve a

standard asset portfolio's risk/return profile, such as stocks. In simply, if thou enjoy

buying paintings, thou can hope that one or more of them will be sold for a profit later

on, for paintings are primarily aesthetic investments rather than financial ones.
