"For us to be the only institution operating purely from an investment perspective, in a $2 trillion asset class that almost nobody else in that market operates in with a purely investment perspective…that gives us quite a bit of an ability to generate alpha for our investors,"- Allen Sukholitsky

What asset classes do better than others when inflation is high?

Typically, assets like oil and gold hold their own when the economy is in flux. But there are other opportunities for investors.

Masterworks is a platform with a mission to fractionalize art, making it an accessible investment opportunity.

Allen Sukholitsky is the Chief Investment Officer at Masterworks, the leading art investment platform for self-directed investors. Before Masterworks, Allen was a Senior Market Strategist at Goldman Sachs, focused on investment strategy, portfolio construction, and investment implementation. He has almost two decades of global economic and investment experience and has been a keynote speaker at investment conferences across the country.

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Allen joins me to discuss his view of the factors influencing the current inflation and the need for stable investments at a time like this.

Allen shares how the ROI in art stands up to other investments and why art might be more attractive for investors than other tangible assets such as oil and gold based on its performance over a three-year period.

Listen in to understand the attractiveness of art as a real asset and how you can purchase shares in great masterpieces from postwar and contemporary artists like Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, and more by becoming an exclusive member of Masterworks today.
