The Dean Art Fund will seek superior investment returns by assembling a portfolio of artworks that is diversified within and between different sectors of the art market with a view to ensuring good investment returns with limited risk. The focus is on investment in established artists and market sectors with proven historical track record.

Investments are likely to be sourced predominantly from owners and collectors in the UK, Europe and globally. The artworks will be stored in freeports or other secure holding facilities as appropriate, if they are not on loan to museums or other displaying institutions.
