The 1st Art Investment Conference at London Business School would not be possible without the strong support of the following organizations. We would like to thank them for their generous support.
Artist Pension Trust® (APT) is the first investment program dedicated to the needs of emerging and mid-career artists. APT’s long-term financial planning services allow artists to invest their artworks alongside a community of select artists, thereby providing a uniquely diversified, alternative income stream.
APT has built one of the fastest growing global collections of contemporary art drawing from seven trusts situated across the world’s leading art centers. APT’s Curatorial Services provides an extensive lending program and research platform for museums and independent curators. APT Intelligence, a service to be launched this summer, leverages the company’s unique intelligence and extensive network across the world’s art centers to provide advisory services and intelligence reports to collectors and financial advisors.
Our vision is to build an integrated financial services firm that caters to the financial needs of the artist. The collateralization of artworks is the basis for a range of financing products
Fine Art Wealth Management Ltd
Fine Art Wealth Management (FAWM) combines the rigours of private banking with the specialised knowledge of art experts to assist private banks, investment management boutiques, family offices and other wealth managers integrate art into their overall wealth management strategy for private clients. FAWM is the only art investment consultancy which specialises in art as an alternative asset class and the disciplines required to analyse this complex field of investment. To date, wealth managers have offered clients interested in art a limited number of services which help clients who are collectors. The majority have not, however, approached art as an alternative investment which can help diversify a portfolio or serve as collateral for effectively raising capital. Equally, few private banks have the ability to provide their clients access to some of the best scholars and art historians in their field. FAWM’s services are dedicated exclusively to wealth managers and their private clients and encompass: structuring art investment funds and/or clubs for their private clients; art research and alternative investment strategy; a full-service platform for lending against high value works of art; collection management and advising on art philanthropy and wealth giving to the Arts. An art collection requires the same strategic planning as other investments and with the help of skilled advice can become an effective working asset.

Salon Russe was formed to seek out and bring to the attention of art-loving people around the world some of the most interesting developments in contemporary Russian art and a new generation of Russian artists. Our goal is to raise the profile of modern Russian art in the international scene.
The artists are selected for the range of creativity which they demonstrate, reflecting the state and content of the contemporary Russian arts scene. Most of them have long-term exclusive contracts with Salon Russe.
We also aim to provide our clients with convenient and innovative ways to view and purchase modern paintings. For this purpose we have developed and continue to improve the Salon Russe website, and hold frequent exhibitions in London art galleries and fairs.
Staging our exhibitions in different places enables us to take full advantage of some of the wide range of interesting and exciting spaces available in London. During the times between exhibitions, clients can visit our London showroom.

The Fine Art Fund Group was founded in 2001 by Philip Hoffman to develop and manage investment vehicles that invest in fine art. The Fine Art Fund was the first fund of its type to invest in art as an asset class worldwide. Since the launch of the first fund, the group has launched The Fine Art Fund II, The Chinese Fine Art Fund and is currently launching The Indian Fine Art Fund.
The Fine Art Fund Group has a team of 30 professionals and now has representatives in London, Geneva, Lugano and Miami. As well as managing the investment funds, the Group provides Art Advisory services to two major banks in Switzerland and America through Fine Art Investment & Research Limited (FAIR).
Kings Road Gallery has a long history of dealing with Asian art since its establishment in Hong Kong in 1994 and relocated to London in 1998. Tanya Baxter, founder and director, has continued this association, and also now deals with many of Asia’s top artists. Names such as Ju Ming, Zeng Chuanxing, Ling Jian, Zhao Kalin and Qi Zhilong are but a few that are indicative of the post cultural revolution genre of artists, free from their chains of repression and censorship. These artists are paving their way into museums around the globe and have performed particularly well at auction, as the recent trend for these works, both with corporate and private collectors alike, shows no sign of slowing down.
