Overview
Matis runs a regulated French platform that enables co-investment in blue-chip 20th‑century artworks through club deals. For each artwork, a dedicated SPV is created and investors buy convertible bonds to pool funds and acquire the piece, with galleries handling resale and a typical horizon of 6 to 36 months. It differentiates itself by being the first AMF-regulated French firm offering club deals in art investment and by leveraging the founders’ experience in alternative assets and art asset management. The goal is to broaden access to tangible high-end art and scale Europe-wide through structured co-investment with professional gallery partners.
