AMC on Blue-Chip Contemporary Paintings

Note: GenTwo is a platform provider for structured products. This information is intended for professional investors only.

What is this product?
 

An actively managed certificate providing professional investors with exposure to a curated portfolio of blue-chip contemporary paintings—a tangible alternative asset class historically reserved for private collectors and family offices.

How does it work?
 

The certificate includes a portfolio of four to six post-war paintings identified and actively managed by Partasio AG with an expected holding period per painting of three to five years. Whenever a painting is sold, net sales proceeds are automatically distributed to investors.

What's the underlying asset?
 

Blue-chip contemporary paintings represent works by globally established artists with proven auction records and institutional recognition. Unlike traditional financial assets, fine art has demonstrated low correlation with equity and bond markets, offering diversification benefits while capturing long-term appreciation driven by limited supply and growing global collector demand. The strategy focuses exclusively on post-war works—paintings created from 1945 onward—where liquidity and price discovery have improved significantly through major auction houses and specialized art market data providers.

The art market is experiencing a major shift from public auctions to private transactions, with collectors prioritizing discretion and control—creating unprecedented access opportunities for buyers with the right network. Quality blue-chip works in the USD 500,000-3 million range remain the most liquid segment, functioning as safe-haven assets with low correlation to traditional markets.

Who's behind it?
 

Strategy manager Partasio AG (Switzerland) actively curates and manages the painting portfolio with InCore Bank AG serving as paying agent. Partasio handles all operational aspects including acquisition, storage, insurance, transportation, and eventual sale of artworks.

What kind of instrument is this?
 

An Actively Managed Certificate (AMC) is a structured product where the issuer actively selects, adjusts, and rebalances the underlying assets based on market conditions and strategy. Investors gain exposure to this managed portfolio through a certificate rather than owning the underlying assets directly.
