Singapore launches first fractional art ownership platform

Investments start at $1,000.

With the launch of Singapore’s first fractional art ownership platform, We Are Art Collectors (WAAC), individuals can invest in art by renowned Singaporean artists, starting from $1,000.

Established by Low Sok Leng, founder of Artualize art gallery, WAAC enables multiple individuals to purchase fractional shares of high-value artwork using an innovative investment model.

“Each lot is priced affordably, and the artworks are curated by experts,” Low said. “This makes art investment much more accessible.”

The fractional art ownership model divides the value of an artwork into smaller, tradable lots, which investors can buy and sell.

In addition, WAAC will offer artworks by second-generation Singapore artists. The initial launch features oil paintings by Low Hai Hong and Koeh Sia Yong.

Six artworks are available for fractional ownership in the initial launch. The artworks are displayed at 02-11 High Street Centre, 1 North Bridge Road, from 10 January, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for viewing and subscription.

Globally, art purchases by millennials and Gen Z clients increased by 147% last year.

According to the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index, art was the best-performing luxury asset class globally in 2023, achieving an 11% price increase, the only double-digit growth among the tracked luxury assets.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
