Our Art Equity Platform has changed that,” said Yieldstreet Founder and CEO Milind Mehere. “Over the past 25 years, contemporary art, as an asset class, has averaged returns of around 14%, while the S&P 500 has posted returns of less than 10% over the same period. We believe this is an opportunity to do better for investors and art enthusiasts.

We believe that Art Equity Fund IV, in addition to pooling the talent of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, has the potential to generate target annualized net returns of 15-20%.*

This team combines proprietary research and data with insider access to identify incredible opportunities for our investors,” said Rebecca Fine, Managing Director, Art Finance at Yieldstreet. “Art Equity Fund IV is constructed with strict investment criteria and concentration limits to optimize both sector diversification and price diversification.”
Like Yieldstreet’s existing suite of art equity funds, Art Equity Fund IV includes works by world-renowned artists who have historically outperformed the rest of the art market. The works of these artists have a low correlation with stock market volatility and could experience rapid growth over the next three to five years, in addition to dominating the market in terms of price dynamics and trading volume. An independent conservator has checked all art assets.
