Art & Collectibles
Fractional and fund-based access to art, wine and collectible assets.
What this category covers
Art and collectibles platforms securitise individual assets or portfolios of assets. These investments produce no income, rely on eventual sale for any return, carry storage and management costs, and generally have no established secondary market.

Platforms in this category (6)
| Platform | Eligibility | Minimum | Structure | Secondary market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alt | Open | Basic account creation is free and there is no marketplace minimum in the current source registry. Alt Lending has a $25,000 minimum loan. | Direct ownership of whole physical trading cards held in Alt's vault. When a sale settles, ownership is transferred digitally in the vault; the owner can later request physical shipment. It is a collectibles marketplace/custody model, not a pooled or fractional investment fund. | Not documented |
| Cult Wine Investment | Open | $35,000 current U.S. minimum managed investment. The tiered annual management fee declines from 2.75% to 2.00% at larger portfolio tiers, but those fee breakpoints are not separate investment minimums. | Managed physical-asset portfolio service through Cult Wines Inc. in the U.S. Clients directly own fine wine held in professional bonded storage while Cult Wines handles selection, acquisition, portfolio management, storage, insurance and sale facilitation; this is not a wine fund or fractional security. | Not documented |
| Masterworks | Open | $15,000 stated per-offering minimum; waivers possible and offering-specific variation exists. At a $20 offering price, $15,000 equals 750 shares. | Artwork is securitized through a separate Regulation A offering tied to the applicable painting-holding entity, and investors purchase securities/shares rather than direct fractional title to the physical painting. Masterworks' secondary-market functionality is a separate trading mechanism and does not convert the artwork itself into an exchange-traded security. | Not documented |
| Rally | Open | Current Rally marketing states shares can start around $5, but that is a reference rather than a universal fixed minimum. Current offerings can have $5, $8, $10, $20 or substantially higher per-share prices. | Fractional collectible-investing platform using Regulation A series-LLC securities. Investors generally buy membership interests in a Series associated with a specific collectible rather than direct title or possession of the underlying car, card, watch, comic, fossil or other asset. | Not documented |
| Vinovest | Open | Vinovest's live pricing page currently lists a $2,000 Starter minimum, while several current help pages continue to quote $1,000; this is a first-party source conflict and investors should confirm the live funding requirement at checkout before depositing. Current American whiskey offerings can begin around $1,750, and Scotch cask pricing remains offering-specific. The marketplace has no minimum account deposit. | Direct physical-asset ownership model for managed wine and whiskey rather than fractional securities. Vinovest states that clients own the actual bottles or casks represented in their portfolios, with custody, storage and insurance handled through the platform structure; managed wine positions are not equity shares in an LLC that owns the bottle. | Not documented |
| WhiskyInvestDirect | Open | There is no minimum trade amount, but trades occur in whole Litre of Pure Alcohol increments, so an investor needs enough cash to buy at least the available whole-LPA unit at the market price. | Direct ownership of physical maturing Scotch whisky measured in litres of pure alcohol within fungible stock lines, held in professional bonded warehouses under an English-law bailment. The investor owns personal property rather than a fractional security and does not necessarily own one individually named cask. | Not documented |
