 | | Today's Word Brought to You By |  | | These Everyday Investors Are Profiting From a $45 Million Banksy Collection | | Yes, that's right — *the* Banksy. We know it sounds too good to be true, but this investment platform's users are already benefiting. It's all made possible by Masterworks, which last sold a multimillion-dollar Banksy on behalf of everyday investors for a 32% net gain. And that's just one of its sales — Masterworks has completed 16 exits, all of them profitable, with three recent sales delivering net annualized returns of 17.8%, 21.5%, and 35% to investors. How does it work? It's simple: Masterworks does all the heavy lifting, like finding the painting, buying it, and storing it. It files each offering with the SEC so that nearly anyone can invest in highly coveted artworks for just a fraction of the price. Shares of every offering are limited, but Word Daily readers can skip the waitlist with this exclusive link. See important Regulation A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd | | |
