CNBC says investors have "nowhere to hide." But one exclusive platform just posted a 22.9% net return. Here's how to get in.

Despite an exciting bull run, gold fell 25% from its January peak.

Bloomberg's Marcus Ashworth said it this week: "No more reliable safe havens."

But Masterworks has been offering fractional investments well outside the norm. Typically those exclusive to the ultra-wealthy.

One of those was an Elizabeth Peyton painting. Total net return to hundreds of their members: 22.9%. Typically 3-10 years, this rare turnaround took just a few weeks.

That's sale number 27. Net annualized returns on sales like 14.6%, 17.6%, 17.8%.

So, despite macro turmoil, the art market has been trending up.

U.S. auction sales jumped 23.1% last year. The $1mm-$5mm segment grew 40.8% in value.

Few people know this. But postwar and contemporary art grew 10.2% annually with near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 over the last 30 years.*

Masterworks lets you invest in shares of works featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

70,000+ members. $1.3 billion across 525+ works.
