Diversify like the 1%

Half of high-net-worth households’ capital is tied up in real estate. The other half is invested in stocks, bonds and alternative assets.

Receive income from real estate

According to Knight Frank’s global survey of over 600 wealth managers that manage nearly $3 trillion in assets, primary and secondary homes account for around 26% of the overall net worth of ultra-high net worth individuals in North America.

However, if you’re not already part of America’s richest class, purchasing investment property may seem out of reach.

But platforms like First National Realty Partners (FNRP) have made it easier for investors like you to invest in commercial real estate — an asset class traditionally reserved for an elite few.

FNRP specializes in stable, grocery-anchored retail property deals aimed at accredited investors with a minimum investment of $50,000.

FNRP has developed relationships with the nation’s largest essential-needs brands, including Kroger, Walmart and Whole Foods, and provides insights into the best properties both on and off-market.

Find creative alternative assets

Households in the top 2% generally all have some form of alternative investment in their portfolio, with nearly three-quarters of all households surveyed owning some form of alternative asset.

Fine art is one investment that consistently outperforms the stock market in the long run. In fact, according to a report in Fortune magazine, contemporary art outperformed the S&P 500 with a compound annual growth rate of 12.6% between 1995 and 2022.

Many investors consider it an asset reserved for the top 1%, but that’s no longer the case.

If you’re looking to diversify your portfolio in the fine art and collectibles market, Masterworks is a platform worth considering.

Masterworks¹ is a top platform for retail and accredited investors to purchase fractional shares of artwork by iconic artists like Banksy and Basquiat.
