HOW TO INVEST

Matis opens the
doors of the art market for you

Our team of professionals makes it possible for you to invest in a world of opportunities without constraints.

Our observation

Buying iconic works of art directly requires expertise and networks in a market where information is asymmetric.


It requires significant cash flow, expertise in assessing the work, its condition, and its provenance, organizing its transport, and insuring it throughout its lifetime.

Once all these steps have been completed, finding a future buyer can be complex, requiring access to and a good knowledge of gallery and dealer networks.

Our solution

Our team selects investment opportunities and takes direct responsibility for due diligence on the artwork (condition, certificate, provenance) as well as its transport and insurance.

Thanks to Matis' investment projects, it is possible to invest in several works by major 19th and 20th-century artists.
From the selection phase onwards, we work with leading galleries specializing in the artists purchased to entrust them with the works for resale.

01

Matis Identifies Strong Art Market Trends

By analyzing market research and public and private transactions involving artworks, Matis identifies major current and future trends in the art market and pinpoints investment opportunities. Artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, and Kusama stand the test of time. Their available works are dwindling and demand for them is increasing, creating an effect of scarcity.

02

Matis Selects Major Artworks

The artworks selected by Matis are appreciated by museums, leading worldwide galleries, and foreign collectors, with acquisition prices ranging from 500,000 to 5,000,000 dollars. Our team has the expertise to swiftly determine the optimal purchase price, enabling us to structure diverse transactions aimed at maximizing resale value from the moment of acquisition. Because of our experience, we can acquire at a low enough price to resale through art market specialists (galleries) who are most familiar with prospective customers.

03

Matis offers investment opportunities starting at €20,000

For each artwork, a project company is created in which private investors can invest through the acquisition of convertible bonds.

04

Artworks Are Strategically Consigned to Top-Tier Galleries to Maximize Resale Value

Matis delegates the re-sale of the artworks to art galleries specializing in their respective artists, capable of replacing the artwork in front of the right collector at its correct market value.
 

Matis collaborates with the largest art galleries in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia.

05

Upon the sale of theartwork, you recover the invested amounts along with any capital gains (not guaranteed)

Matis targets the resale of each artwork within a 24-month period. Investors are entitled to the net returns generated—after deduction of Matis’s fees—with an anticipated, though not guaranteed, IRR(1) comprised between 15% and 20%.

Easily access to the most   prestigious art investment offers

What is co-investment ?

A collective investment structure, where individual investors combine resources to fund a variety of projects (stock market, real estate, art, and more.)

It offers access to high-value opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to limited networks, expertise, or capital.

Investing within modern and contemporary art

In the context of art, a legal structure is established to manage the investment in a specific artwork. Investors assume the role of bondholders, providing the capital necessary for the acquisition of the artwork.

Returns from this transaction are based on the capital gains realized upon its eventual resale.

Legal status and  
co-investment

For each investment offer, a vehicle is created, enabling participation in a share of the artwork through the acquisition of convertible bonds.

Easily track your investments

Our investment platform has been designed to allow you to invest entirely online.

From this platform, you can:

  • Sign your subscription agreement ;

Let our investors speak for us

Matis allows investing in a piece of art history

Thanks to Matis, I was able to easily invest in a high-performing asset class, which is difficult to access directly without in-depth knowledge of the art market and a significant financial envelope. I was convinced by the expertise of Arnaud Dubois and the investment team in their ability to source quality works, coveted by museum institutions and art professionals. The emotional and cultural dimension is also very strong and allows investing in a piece of art history.

Romain Suaudeau

Perceive art under a new facet, that of investment

As a collector on a personal level, I was captivated by Matis' value proposition, which allows one to perceive art under a new facet, that of investment. The selection strategy of Matis, focused exclusively on world-renowned artists whose value has been established for years, convinced me to take the step and invest in a work by François-Xavier Lalanne.

Ivan Michal

Partner of an equity fund

Investing in recognized artists with a high market value

Matis was recommended to me by an investor friend. I was subsequently convinced by the company's investment strategy, which only proposes investing in recognized artists with a high market value. Through this co-investment solution, I can diversify my portfolio into an asset class that is weakly correlated with other financial products. In addition, the investment scheme is easy to understand, and the subscription procedures are quick.

Sébastien Lalevée

General Manager of an Asset Management Company

Simple and fast investment experience

Matis is an interesting co-investment solution for building a diversified portfolio by investing in several high-quality artworks, which I would not have been able to purchase alone. Moreover, the investment experience is simple and fast.
