At Scotia Wealth Management, we recognize that significant wealth extends beyond traditional financial assets. Many individuals hold substantial investments in “passion assets” – notably fine art and collectibles – that require specialized knowledge to manage effectively.
Through our collaborative approach, we work alongside advisors, wealth professionals and external partners to address the complexities of art-secured lending, estate planning and philanthropic giving. By embedding these considerations into your overall financial strategy, we help preserve, monetize and transition collections in alignment with personal and family objectives.
Our services are tailored for individuals who:
Have significant holdings in fine art, collectibles and luxury assets.
Are legacy-focused collectors seeking the proper stewardship, valuation and eventual transfer of their collections.
Are looking to optimize the financial and estate planning aspects of their collections.
Are looking for a solutions focused approach providing access to capital.
Wish to engage in philanthropic giving through structured donations and strategic charitable planning.
We work closely with you, your families and your advisors to develop personalized solutions that align with your financial and legacy objectives. As the art and collectibles market continues to evolve, we remain committed to delivering expert guidance and innovative strategies to help you maximize the value and impact of your collections.
