• 1950年至今，藝術品投資基金市場受到越來越多藝術投資者的關注，藝術品投資基金投標的比例80%來自拍賣會場, 剩下的部份作品則從畫廊和收藏家手中購得

• 70年代，英國鐵路養老基金在拍賣行的幫助下，進行了7000萬美元的藝術品投資。在1974年到1999年之間，這些藝術品的年回報率達11％。

• 藝術品投資基金針對的是高端消費客戶，這些客戶對資金投資的要求很高，不容許出現一絲問題。這就要求藝術品投資基金在操作上要透明、規範，並且對市場有足夠的判斷能力。

• 藝術是數百年來一個很有吸引力的投資項目，人們越來越認識到它，在近幾十年中比傳統的投資方式更勝其它投資一籌。金融界非常關注藝術品市場投資，不僅僅是資金集合成立藝術發展基金，更重要的是把一些金融投資比例理念植入回報其中 。

• Since 1950, more and more attention has been placed on art funds. And more than 80% of art fund procurements are from auctions. The rest come from galleries and collectors.

• In the 70’s, with the help of auction houses, U.K. Railroad Workers’ Pension Fund invested $70 million in artworks. From 1974 to 1999, the average annual investment return was an impressive 11%.

• Art funds are tailored to high-end clients. With high expectations toward their investment, these clients have very low tolerance on mishaps by fund managers. That means art fund operations must be highly  transparent and strictly regulated, and fund managers must have excellent judgment in making investment decisions.

• For centuries, art investment has been attractive. Now people have realized that in the last few decades, art investment brings better returns than traditional methods. The financial service industry’s contribution to art is not only in raising capital to form art funds. More importantly, it is in planting the seeds of investment in the art world.
