When it comes to investing, your options are practically endless, from gold bullion to cutting-edge technology. But for the most part, whatever you invest in tends to end up represented as numbers and graphs on a screen.

Fine art offers a different kind of investment, one that you can carefully select, enjoy and perhaps form a personal and emotional connection with. Whether you choose to buy art as an investment-only commodity to be kept at an art storage facility, or to hang on the walls of your home and admire, you can control it directly, and it offers a unique way to diversify your portfolio.
