Questions Fréquentes
The artistic movements targeted by Matis are as follows:
- Modern art, created by artists from the first half of the 20th century;
- Contemporary art, created by artists after 1945.
These two artistic movements account for nearly 80% of the global art market exchanges. In its acquisition strategy, Matis thus prioritizes works created by emblematic artists of the 20th century due to the dominance of these two artistic trends, a guarantee of liquidity and dynamism in the art market.
Investment in our investment offers is open to individuals or legal entities, French tax residents or not.
However, Matis reserves the right to decline certain subscriptions if customer due diligence or fund traceability requirements are not satisfactorily met, in accordance with regulatory obligations.
Legally, we are entitled to take up to 5 years to sell our works. We target an investment horizon of 6 to 36 months, with 80% of works in our market selling within two years of consignment. While we aim to follow this timeline, the sale depends on collector interest.
After 5 years, securities can be converted at a 1:1 rate by a majority decision of bondholders, forcing the sale at auction, though liquidity is not guaranteed.
Matis structures and offers exclusive investment offers focused on investments in contemporary art.
The company identifies key trends in the art market to invest in works by the most significant 20th-century artists. By issuing convertible bonds that can be converted into shares, Matis provides private investors the opportunity to co-invest in acquisition opportunities typically reserved for art market professionals.
With a license granted by the Financial Markets Authority, Matis is authorized to offer these investment opportunities across Europe.
Additionally, Matis partners with specialized art galleries to manage the acquired works, entrusting them for resale with the aim of achieving a non-guaranteed target horizon of 2 years.
Investing in contemporary art carries a risk of financial loss and illiquidity if we are unable to sell our work at a fair market value.
Investing in our investment offers implies acceptance of these risks by our investors.
Matis propose d’investir dans des œuvres d’artistes majeurs du XXe siècle, reconnus par les plus grands musées internationaux, promus par des galeries leaders, et bénéficiant d’une large base de collectionneurs à travers le monde. Ce sont des artistes dits “blue chip”, dont la valeur des œuvres dépasse souvent les centaines de milliers d’euros, les rendant difficilement accessibles à la plupart des investisseurs. Parmi les artistes ciblés, on peut par exemple citer Yayoi Kusama, Andy Warhol, Yves Klein, ou encore François-Xavier Lalanne. Ces artistes ont profondément marqué l’histoire de l’art ; leurs œuvres disponibles à la vente sur le marché s’amenuisent tandis que leur valeur augmente, créant un effet de rareté.
Une offre de co-investisse est un mode de financement collectif où plusieurs investisseurs privés lèvent des fonds en vue de financer un projet de grande ampleur. Il peut s’agir d’une opération boursière, immobilière ou encore artistique. Appliquée à l’art, l’offre d’investissement est spécifique à une oeuvre donnée, et s’appuie sur une structure juridique dédiée. L’investissement peut se traduire par l’acquisition d’actions ou d’obligations. Dans le cas de Matis, les instruments utilisés sont des obligations convertibles en action. Les investisseurs peuvent réaliser une plus-value (non garantie) à la revente de l’oeuvre, avec une durée maximale d'investissement de 5 ans.
The simplified joint stock company holding the artwork issues convertible bonds into shares.
Matis uses a non-conversion premium mechanism to transfer the capital gain issued from the sale of the work by the holding to our investors, limiting the tax impact of this gain.
A stock setup would have been possible but would have led to a double taxation system that we wanted to avoid.
This structure has been reviewed and validated by a law firm advising us on the matter.
Matis defines the major current and future trends of the art market and focuses its analysis on the 100 most fundamental artists of the 20th century. Matis then sources its works from art market professionals, such as galleries, dealers, and auction companies. Through this privileged network, our team identifies works we consider undervalued and acquire them. The works are selected for their ability to be quickly resold through major international galleries, specialists in the concerned artist, within a target horizon of two years, and are purchased only after validation by an acquisition committee.
