Webinar: Why and How to Invest in Japanese Contemporary Art

Real Estate Japan is pleased to present the next installment in our online seminar series on why and how to invest in Japanese contemporary art.

Art can be much more than a way to decorate your home. It can also be a means to diversifying your investment portfolio, with increasing numbers of people at all investment levels buying into this asset class in the last few years. A 2019 report by The Art Basel and UBS found that the global art market grew at about nine percent in the decade from 2008 to 2018. In 2018, the global art market reached $67.4 billion, up six percent year-on-year.  (Source: The Art Basel).

As with real estate or equities, art can increase in value over time, and like real estate, it is also an alternative investment for diversifying risk. So if you have an aesthetic eye, buying art can be rewarding aesthetically and financially. However, as with any investment, the art market has its risks.
