    Masterworks

    US-based platform (founded 2017) offering fractional ownership in blue-chip contemporary artworks via SEC Regulation A+ offerings. Each painting is placed in a single-purpose LLC and shares are sold to investors. Not FCA-authorised; UK investors do not benefit from FCA, FSCS or Financial Ombudsman protections.

    LondonTradeArt

    UK platform offering fractional ownership of physical and digital artworks ('Art Shares'). Regulatory status not confirmed on the FCA Register; planned 'Art Exchange' secondary market in development.

    Mintus

    UK-based fractional art investment platform (Mintus Trading Limited, FRN 942522) enabling qualifying investors to buy shares in high-value physical artworks via SPV structures. The FCA Register records the firm as 'Authorised — applied to cancel' since December 2021, with restrictions on permitted activities. A secondary market is planned but not yet operational. Note: the public website currently emphasises B2B AI/platform offerings for financial institutions, and some retail pages show 404s — this may indicate a strategic pivot away from direct retail.
