A Strategic Expansion in Alternative Assets

In today’s complex financial landscape, investors are increasingly turning to alternative assets to build resilient, diversified portfolios. Art, a historically exclusive asset class, offers both stability and low correlation to traditional financial markets. EVIDENT is pleased to announce the launch of our new Art Vertical, which provides clients with direct, flexible access to iconic artworks through a fully digital, professionally structured platform.

In collaboration with Iconic Art Inc., a global leader in the art investment market, EVIDENT’s Art Vertical opens new possibilities in art investment—where clients are empowered to select individual artworks and gain transparent, institutional-grade exposure to this culturally significant asset class.

Why Art? A Growing, Resilient Asset Class

Art’s appeal as an investment has steadily increased over the last two decades. The global art market, valued at $1.75 trillion with annual transaction volumes reaching $65 billion, has demonstrated robust growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% over the past decade. Even during periods of economic turbulence, fine art has maintained a low correlation with traditional markets, providing stability and resilience for investors seeking alternative avenues.

Through EVIDENT’s Art Vertical, we bring a modern approach to art investing that retains the tangible and cultural value of owning physical assets. Clients gain access to a highly curated selection of works by artists such as Warhol, Picasso, and Magritte, bridging the worlds of culture and investment.

Partnering with Iconic Art Inc.: Expertise and Excellence

Our Art Vertical is made possible through a strategic partnership with Iconic Art Inc., an art investment firm renowned for its expertise and leadership in the global art market. Iconic Art Inc. brings over 35 years of experience in sourcing, acquiring, and managing high-value artworks, backed by a team of seasoned professionals skilled in strategic planning, operations management, and market analysis.

This partnership ensures that our clients access a selection of authenticated, iconic artworks managed to the highest standards. Iconic Art Inc. provides a comprehensive approach to art asset management, combining deep market expertise with a dedication to excellence in curation and oversight. With this collaboration, EVIDENT offers clients a unique opportunity to engage with blue-chip art underpinned by institutional-grade management.

A New Standard in Art Investment Structure

The EVIDENT Art Vertical is distinguished by its flexible and investor-centric structure, making it accessible while preserving the quality and security expected from institutional-grade offerings. Key features include:

  • Capital Guarantee: Each artwork on our platform is backed by a capital guarantee through a reinsurance mechanism, offering clients added security and confidence. This guarantee represents our commitment to providing a robust and transparent investment experience.
  • Secondary Market Access: Our Art Vertical includes access to a regulated secondary market, enabling clients to transact their artwork units with flexibility. This feature allows for liquidity options, a rarity in traditional art investment structures.

These unique structuring features ensure that investors can navigate the art market with flexibility, transparency, and the assurance of professional management.
