ART FINANCE AND LAW CONFERENCE SERIES
Risks, Rules, and Opportunities in Art Investment
In 2014-2015, the Art Law Foundation organises a conference series on Art Finance & Law held in London and Geneva. The aim of the series is to examine the growing practice of art investments, and the use of art as an investment asset. Various top speakers from academia and practice will explore securitisation of art as an asset, the differences between art funds and hedge funds, the peculiarities of the portfolio and fund management, the different types of loans against art collateral, and the risks and rules for art investments. If you are involved in the commerce of art – whether you are a private collector, wealth manager, art dealer, auctioneer, investor, professional advisor, provider of financial services, lawyer or scholar, this conference series will address the key issues in art investment today. Through presentations, Q&As, panel discussions, and workshops, industry experts will share specialist advice and insights on many of the key factors in art investment – including the latest updates in legislation.
