The essential guide for professional financial advisors
Thursdays April 26, May 24, September 20, October 18, November 22, 2012│ Luxembourg
Deloitte Luxembourg has joined forces with ArtTactic to provide seminars for finance professionals seeking an in-depth understanding and analysis of recent business developments in the domain where art meets finance.
Private bankers, asset managers and institutional investors have all come to appreciate art as a real, unleveraged, irreplaceable asset, and one fully deserving of a place in wealth and asset management. Wealthy investors are now braving diversification strategies that encompass more exotic investment classes, such as art.
And yet, professional financial advisers have not always been overly familiar with art as an asset class when managing these clients’ portfolios.
By participating in our seminars, you will get first-hand information on art-market trends in a financial context, which will help you to delve into the art market in a knowledgeable and informed manner and to cultivate ongoing relationships with your best clients.
The seminars form a five-part series, though individual sessions may be attended.
Each session will take place from 5.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. followed by a drinks reception on the Deloitte Luxembourg premises.
