CLEARWATER, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Formed May 1, 2008, The Art Investing Group, LLC, (AIG) a Delaware
limited liability company (the "General Partner") and Art Investing
Group, LLP (the "Investment Manager") announced a Private Equity Fund,
which seeks to create long-term value by participating in
opportunistic investments in iconic, museum quality fine art.
AIG's private equity investments consist of limited partner
interests in AIG's private equity funds. AIG makes its investments
through its Global Art Investing Master Fund, Ltd., an exempted
company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the
Cayman Islands on March 20, 2008. The investment professionals of the
Investment Manager and its affiliates collectively represent over 150
years of corporate business management, market research, asset
management and structured finance; and over 130 years of experience in
the art industry. Furthermore, the Investment Manager works with major
galleries, museums, private collectors and auction houses.
The Partnership is uniquely qualified to assist Wealth Managers
and Alternative Investment Advisors in helping their accredited
investors integrate art assets into their portfolios for either U.S.
or International clients; and offers flexibility through AIG's
master-feeder structure.
The Partnership seeks to provide investors (high net worth
individuals, foundations, endowments and employee benefit plans) with
a superior long-term, risk-adjusted return through strategically
purchasing and selling paintings, works on paper, sculpture and
photographs that demonstrate a high potential for increased future
value. To obtain its investment objectives, the Investment Manager has
developed an investment approach that seeks to combine the specialized
knowledge of art experts with the rigors of investment management. The
Partnership seeks to earn returns superior to the average reported
returns of Mei-Moses All Art Index.
The Partnership seeks to grant investors exposure to art as an
asset investment class. The Investment Manager believes that the fine
art market remains highly inefficient, creating an investment
opportunity for out-performance through active management. This allows
investors, through their interest in the Partnership, to own many
artworks in diverse media and styles.
Through its activities, the Investment Manager seeks to provide
investors with:
-- Positive long-term returns superior to the industry average
-- Diversification benefits
-- Downside risk protection
