Very unique and interesting way to allow the layperson to invest in art work. Their fees are high - 1.5% annual and they keep 20% of the profits when the art sells. It is also difficult to find out... See more

Masterworks that work…

Masterworks is an online platform that allows individuals to invest in shares of blue-chip artworks, typically by well-known artists such as Basquiat, Banksy, Picasso, and Monet. Rather than purchasing entire pieces, investors can buy fractional shares, similar to how shares in a company are traded. Good experience starting my account!

I had issues with sending money

I had issues with actually sending money to the company for the investment. Initially it seemed that the company wanted to get full access to my bank account and information, which i found very concerning. When I raised a question, I was told to use the routing number to transfer from my checking account, but after several attempts, with people from the company assisting, it was apparent this was not going to work.

Eventually i ended up wiring the funds, but never received a confirmation that the funds were received, in spite of requests, and the on line account information seemed to indicate that the amount was still outstanding. Since i am getting this survey, i assume it has been received, but i would have appreciated receiving an email confirming receipt, in response to my request.

Helpful and pleasant Onboarding

Flexible, willing to help, and offered me something palatable to my artistic AND investing taste. Also Ivan was easy to work with and very courteous. Very pleasant onboarding.

General average experience

General average experience in comparison to other investment platforms. The interface is confusing and clunky. Painting I've invested in are missing and limited information is presented unless you dig deeper into the fine print. Limited transparency on the process, and onboarding experience was exceptionally pushy.

Great Team, Very Trustworthy Platform

Great team, appreciated the double & triple checking through the calls for security. They use Plaid for a secure connection to the bank. They worked with my teeny tiny budget as well.

10/10 on this platform; they have great people on the team. Textbook salesmanship and quality follow-up as well.
