Here’s what you can do when your bank starts apologizing

You may have gotten a ‘sorry’ email from your bank, saying that if you had a 5% APY cash account, that privilege is being snatched away.

And with interest rates set to keep sinking… where to pivot?

But now, for a slice of their portfolio, Masterworks’ art investing platform is offering shares to 66,000+ investors, with each of their 23 sales individually returning a profit to said investors.

With 3 illustrative sales, Masterworks investors have realized net annualized returns of +17.6%, +17.8%, and +21.5%!
