Igor's call, in full

Here is the honest warning inside the art boom. I forecast that by 2030, 60 percent of retail investors in fractional art end up net-negative once you account for platform fees and the 28 percent collectibles tax that eats the gains. The regulators will move. I forecast the first SEC fee-disclosure rule specifically for fractional art by 2027, forcing platforms to show investors what the fees and taxes really do to their returns. The trend is real and the asset class is growing, but the retail investor is often the one holding the worst end of the fee structure. I forecast it, and I say it plainly, because a forecast that only sells the upside is a sales pitch, not foresight.

60% OF RETAIL INVESTORS NET-NEGATIVE AFTER FEES BY 2030.
