Rare and high-quality artwork is a universally valuable asset that can be effectively leveraged for asset management. Artwork is particularly useful for hedging against inflation that exerts negative impact on monetary assets. Incorporating arts into an asset portfolio from the viewpoint of risk diversification further streamlines the asset management.
SBI artfolio advocates a brand new art financial business through the incorporation of arts into asset building (portfolio) by fusing together various financial services offered by the SBI Group and works of art.
Furthermore, in 2011 we launched the globally-renowned “SBI Art Auction”, giving birth to one of Japan's leading full-fledged public auctions focused on works of art.
Utilizing the multi-faceted businesses and the broad domestic and overseas network of the SBI Group, SBI artfolio provides services that maximize the asset value of works of art, including rearranging the art lineup at the time of repurchase or de-accession of works of art or interchanging works of art with other financial products, and serving as an agent for vendors in the sales of works of art at public auctions in Japan and overseas or in the private sales of works of art to a limited range of customers by direct approach.
Going forward we will work to provide customers with high value-added services and to contribute to the vitality of the market.
