Press release
Rome, Vaduz - 31 October 2024 - ARTEX Global Markets (ARTEX GM) - the world's first regulated art multilateral trading facility (MTF) where shares representing fractional ownership in world-renowned art pieces are traded - continues its expansion following the addition of a new partner to its network.
EQUITA - leading Italian independent investment bank with a long-standing commitment to providing clients with new opportunities for portfolio diversification and comprehensive financial services, from alternative asset management to capital markets access, both in Italy and abroad - will partner with ARTEX GM acting as notification agent. As a result, the Italian investment bank will signal to its professional client's new listings of iconic artworks, easing access to art (which is increasingly recognised as a valuable asset class by investors) and facilitating trading on the secondary market passing potential clients' orders to other members of the exchange.
The mission of ARTEX GM is to provide a regulated, liquid and transparent art trading facility that would be accessible to anyone interested in trading art shares, and similar to traditional listed financial instruments, these securities are tradable and transferable in real-time.
Operating under MiFID II regulations, ARTEX GM is licensed within the European Economic Area (EEA) and regulated by the Financial Market Authority (FMA) in Liechtenstein, ensuring a transparent and secure trading environment.
