Billionaires wanted it, but 66,737 everyday investors got it first… and profited

When incredibly rare and valuable assets come up for sale, it's typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always…

One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and offering shares of some of history’s most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors. In just the last few years, those investors realized representative annualized net returns like +17.6%, +17.8% and +21.5% (among assets held 1+ year).

It's called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Warhol, all of which are collectively invested in by everyday investors. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 23 it's already sold – investors reap their portion of any profits.

It's easy to get started, but offerings can sell out in minutes.

New insights

Comms specialists are among the roles most likely to leave a company — voluntarily or involuntarily — after it has been acquired, according to research from Revelio Labs. I contacted the author for more details on this point, as the write-up broadly discusses “marketing” roles, and I’ll share anything I get back.
“A near-universal theme among the communications leaders we spoke with was a need to be business experts first, communications leaders second,” says this new report from Weber Shandwick’s United Minds consultancy, summarizing insights from anonymous conversations with global comms leaders. Beyond the importance of business acumen, the discussions highlighted the rise of effective employee comms and other topics. It's worth a read!
Louise Thompson wrote a good summary of John Kotter’s approach to leading change and added points for communicators. Check it out!
“Copycat thinking produces copycat careers,” says internal comms expert Shaun Randol, aka Mr. Editorial, in his introduction to his new series of e-books on making more money in comms, comms craftsmanship, and innovation. Shaun always has a great perspective…I’m looking forward to reading these!
