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
Our expert team carefully selects investment opportunities for you and takes care of due diligence on the artwork (condition, certificate, provenance), as well as its transportation and insurance.
Through investment in our club deals, it becomes possible to invest in multiple artworks made by major 20th-century artists simultaneously. Starting from the selection phase, we collaborate with leading galleries and/or specialists of the acquired artists to entrust the artworks for resale.

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.

To invest in a Matis club deal, you must create an account on the investment space app.matis.club by following this procedure:
- If you have a referral code: enter the code directly on this page and follow the different steps;
- If you do not have a referral code: complete this entry form on this page to obtain a referral code.
After your registration, an appointment will be proposed with a member of our sales team, after which you will have direct online access to all information about our various open club deals.
You can then invest in one or more Matis club deals directly from your online space, after submitting your identity documents and completing an adequacy test. You can fund your investor account by bank transfer or credit card, validate your investment order, and sign your subscription form. Subscribing to a Matis club deal results in the acquisition of convertible bonds into shares.
After your subscription, you will be regularly informed of news concerning your investment, on topics such as:
- the transportation and valuation of the work;
- the consignment date of the work to our partner galleries;
- the exhibition of the work at contemporary art fairs and other artistic events.
Once the work is resold, within a target horizon of two years, the invested amounts and the profit made on the resale of the work (not guaranteed) will be directly transferred to your Matis payment account. You can choose to transfer these funds directly to your bank account or reinvest them in another club deal.
Investment in our club deals is open to individuals or legal entities, French tax residents or not. However, Matis reserves the right to refuse certain subscribers if certain customer knowledge or fund traceability elements are not deemed sufficient by our teams, in view of our regulatory obligations.
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 club deal, 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.
Club deals offered by Matis are accessible from an investment of € 20,000, and these conditions are identical for all our investors.
The convertible bonds into shares offered by Matis are subject to the tax regime of securities. Capital gains are thus subject to a flat tax of 30% for individuals, (17.2% in case of exemption), and taxed on corporate income tax or income tax in the case of certain subscriptions for civil companies choosing this tax regime.
These investments are not included in the taxable base of the IFI (French Wealth Tax).
