The Esoteric Methodology
validation and valuation
Our combined 50 years of experience in portfolio management allows us to be confident in our ability to mitigate risk.
Historically in art financing large institutions would utilize a measured approach to lending and would only loan against high-end blue-chip fine art for HNWC(high-networth clients). We at Esoteric have discovered a way to incorporate contemporary art monetization to our private clients who are not HNWC.
Collateral validation includes the examination of the artwork’s provenance, which encompasses clean title and authenticity.
Collateral valuation is determined through qualitative assessments, review of comparable sales, review of auction history and appraisals.
Our clients may want to finance a particular business opportunity or purchase another work of art. Conversely, our hybrid art-monetization purchase or fixed annuity creates cashflow that may be used to meet sudden liquidity needs such as payment of estate taxes, and negative income shock. What we’ve discovered along the way is that opportunity vs. need - have different empirical implications.
