MIAMI, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Art remains the most undervalued investment in
the market, over performing both the real estate and stock markets for more
than 20 years. 

In a climate with volatile markets, art promises attractive returns. While
stocks can suffer double-digit losses in one day, the art market exhibits far
more stability due to the limited supply of fine works of art. Equally
important is the fact that art is the one investment that provides constant
pleasure in both an aesthetic and emotional nature. 

With a maximum total subscription of $150,000,000 Artemundi Global Fund is a
private investment fund, focusing its investments on a well diversified
portfolio of fine art objects by universally recognized artists. The principal
investment objective of AGF is to preserve its capital, earn an attractive
rate of return and seek capital appreciation.  

We are committed to achieving the goals of the fund by successfully merging
our collective experience in the world of Art and Investment Management. By
channeling our areas of knowledge and expertise, we truly believe that we have
the ability to become one of the leading Fine Art Investment funds worldwide. 

As CEO Javier Lumbreras discusses in his book entitled "The Art of Collecting
Art," art is a tangible asset that also happens to be portable, unlike real
estate. Moreover, art is a valuable asset class investment instrument because
it has a low correlation with other types of investments, thus reducing
overall risk. 

Our goal is to find investors who share our philosophy, participating in a
small closed-end fund that is not merely a tool to greater riches, but also an
investment that rewards in so many other ways, brining intellectual and social
enrichment, along with an enhanced sense of self-affirmation. Artemundi Global
Fund offers a financial instrument to the prudent and sophisticated investor
that finds reassurance in tangible assets that are rare and unique. 

We are able to provide what we believe is a first in the Art investment
industry. Fund Members will have the opportunity to display the Fund's artwork
in their homes or offices on a revolving basis. We also plan to provide
investors with the opportunity to learn more about the art of collecting and
the art in their fund through lectures, monographs, and our own insights
acquired over the years. 

All of Artemundi Global Fund's administration and coordination will be
conducted by reputable institutions such as Alter Domus, KPMG, Kirkpatrick &
Lockhart P.G. Ellis LLP, Sanchez-Medina, Gonzalez & Quesada LLP, and Lloyds of
London. 

The portfolio for the fund will be diversified between three collections
ranging from Old Masters to Post-war and Contemporary Art. The majority of the
capital will be invested in paintings from the late 19(th) century, including
such movements as Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Modernism. This
collection will include European artists such as Monet and Pissarro as well as
leading modern artists, many of Latin origin, such as Frida Kahlo, Wifredo
Lam, Roberto Matta and Diego Rivera. 

Artemundi Management is a Fine Art management investment firm with unrivaled
knowledge and vast experience as Art collectors, having invested more than
$250 million in Art since 1988. The Management believes success in the Fine
Art market depends on accumulated qualitative & quantitative methods, global
market arbitrage combined with the ability to identify, interpret and
capitalize on specific Art transaction opportunities. Artemundi Management
also has multinational expertise in the areas of logistics, safe keeping,
restoration and conservation.
