"When bankers get together for dinner, they discuss Art. When artists get together for dinner, they discuss money."

— Oscar Wilde

Emigrant Bank Fine Art Finance’s loan programs help bankers implement long-term asset allocation strategies for their clients. Clients can borrow against a collection of art and antiques to diversify their assets and increase their allocation to stocks, bonds, real estate, hedge funds, private equity and other investments.


“I have a client who wanted to open an investment account. She has lots of assets, including art, but she’s fairly illiquid. I helped her arrange an art loan to improve her cash position.”

“My client is interested in a new investment opportunity, but he doesn’t want to liquidate his portfolio holdings. I helped him borrow against his art instead.”
