Our observation
The direct acquisition of contemporary masterpieces requires expertise and networks in a market where information is asymmetric.
Not only does it involve mobilizing a significant amount of cash, often hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros, but also appraising the artwork, assessing its condition, provenance, and more. Additionally, it requires to organize its professional transportation as to insure the artwork throughout its lifecycle.
Finally, finding a future buyer can be complex, demanding access to and a deep understanding of gallery and dealer networks.
Our solution

Through investment in our co-investment projects, it becomes possible to invest in multiple artworks made by major 20th-century artists simultaneously.

Matis Identifies Strong Art Market Trends
Matis determines present and future important trends in the art market and identifies iconic artists to follow via the cross-analysis of market research on art history movements and the examination of public and private transactions connected to the buying and selling of artworks.
Indeed, artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, and Kusama have withstood the test of time. Their works' availability decreases as their demand rises, resulting in a scarcity effect.
Matis Selects Major Artworks
The artworks selected by Matis are appreciated by museums, leading worldwide galleries, and foreign collectors, with acquisition prices ranging from 500,000 to 5 million dollars.
Our staff can swiftly assess the maximum price at which to purchase the artwork and so perform a diverse deal flow in order to optimize the possible resale at the time of acquisition. Because of our experience, we can acquire at a low enough price to resale through art market specialists (galleries) who are most familiar with prospective customers.
Matis Structures Co-Investment Projects for You to Invest
For each artwork, a Simplified Joint Stock Company (SAS) is created in which private investors can invest through the acquisition of convertible bonds.
Artworks Are Entrusted to Major Galleries for Resale
Matis delegates the re-sale of the artworks to art galleries specializing in their respective artists, capable of replacing the artwork in front of the right collector at its correct market value.

What is co-investing ?
Co-investing is a form of collective financing where individual investors pool funds for various projects (stock market, real estate, art, etc.).
It provides access to expensive operations that would otherwise be difficult to access due to a lack of network, expertise, or resources.
What application in the context of contemporary art?
In the specific case of art, a legal structure is created to manage the investment of a particular artwork. Investors become bondholders, financing the acquisition of the said artwork.
The returns from this operation depend on the capital gains realized upon its resale.
Legal status and
co-investment
For each opportunity, an investment vehicle is created, allowing you to invest on a part of the work through the acquisition of convertible bonds.

We would be delighted to answer your questions if we haven't already done so here
The simplified joint stock company holding the artwork issues convertible bonds into shares.
Matis uses a non-conversion premium mechanism to transfer the capital gain issued from the sale of the work by the holding to our investors, limiting the tax impact of this gain.
A stock setup would have been possible but would have led to a double taxation system that we wanted to avoid. This setup has been validated by a law firm, which advises us on this subject.
Matis is remunerated only from its investor clients and at the time of investment.
Entrance fees divided as follows will be applied to each investment:
- commission fees of 5% of the amount invested for providing the order reception and transmission service
- commission fees of 5% of the amount invested for the provision of the investment service
Matis is also remunerated in case of profit realized on a co-investment project, amounting to 20% of the performance amount.
All Internal Rates of Return* and target returns indicated in our documentation are net of all these fees.
*The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) measures the profitability of an investment over a given period. It takes into account the evolution of the value of shares and distributed capital gains over the period, as well as subscription and management fees supported by the investor.
Co-investment projects offered by Matis are accessible from an investment of € 20,000, and these conditions are identical for all our investors.
