Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
That’s 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?
16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)
It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.

Why Solar Forces a Switchboard Review
Adding solar to an existing building often exposes switchboard deficiencies that have existed for years. The Wiring Rules require that a new solar circuit be installed to the current standard — and if the switchboard itself does not meet current standards, it must be upgraded as part of the solar installation. This surprises many homeowners but is a legal requirement.
Switchboard Assessment Checklist Before Solar
Is the switchboard type approved (not ceramic rewireable fuses — these must be replaced)
Is there sufficient spare capacity for the solar AC circuit breaker
Is the main busbar rated for the additional solar current (export + grid import can exceed the original design current)
Is the neutral bar rated for the full system neutral current
Are existing circuits protected by RCDs where required by current standards
Is the switchboard earthing system intact and compliant
Is there a main switch capable of isolating both grid supply and solar output
Solar Circuit Breaker Sizing
The solar circuit breaker at the switchboard protects the AC wiring between the switchboard and the inverter. It is sized based on the inverter's maximum AC output current:
ICB ≥ Irated,inverter × 1.25
Inverter Size | AC Output Current | Minimum Circuit Breaker |
|---|---|---|
3 kW single-phase | 13.0 A | 16 A |
5 kW single-phase | 21.7 A | 32 A |
6.6 kW single-phase | 28.7 A | 40 A |
10 kW three-phase | 14.5 A/phase | 20 A three-pole |
15 kW three-phase | 21.7 A/phase | 32 A three-pole |
Busbar Back-Feed Limitation
One commonly overlooked issue: when solar exports power, current flows back through the switchboard busbar from the solar circuit breaker toward the main switch. The busbar must be rated for this back-fed current in addition to its normal load current. Most modern switchboards accommodate this, but older 63 A busbars in pre-2000 switchboards may need replacement when large solar systems are added.
