Why art

Art as a tangible asset: safe and discreet in a Swiss freeport, outside the banking system

Your account is a promise made by a bank. Your share is a stake in a company. Your work of art belongs to you and sits safe and discreet in the freeport: no issuer, no counterparty, no account anyone can freeze.

What that means for you: contemporary art is the largest segment of the art market with a 55 % share and the best buying and selling opportunities (UBS Art Market Report). The portfolios of our cooperation partner gained 9.5 % on average in 2025, 9.4 % in 2024, 8.7 % in 2023. Since 2018 no client portfolio has ended below its previous year value, valued every year by the art insurer. Past gains are no promise for the future.

Sell tax-free: in DE and AT your gain on sale is free of income tax once you have held for at least 1 year. In the freeport you pay no import duties: your capital works in full.

Next generation: art is potentially inheritance-tax optimised. What that looks like for you, we clarify in the call.

In short: Your work of art is a tangible asset with no counterparty. It belongs to you, sits safe, insured and discreet in a Swiss freeport and passes to your children.

Your advantages

Your 9 advantages: art in a Swiss freeport instead of an account, a fund or property

01

100 % your property

You buy real works, no fund, no certificate, no financial product. Ownership is transferred in your name, the warehouse receipt is your title deed.

02

Insolvency-proof

If the dealer or the warehouse goes bust, the works stay yours: you take them out under your right of segregation. Without your written consent nobody touches them, not even our partner.

03

No third-party access

No account that gets frozen. No custodian bank, no counterparty. You alone decide who buys, inherits or sells.

04

Independent of stock market and euro

Art does not move with the DAX. Works by established artists trade worldwide in EUR, USD and CHF: if the euro weakens, you sell in another currency.

05

No import duties

In the freeport you buy and store without import duties as long as the works stay there. Your full capital sits in works, not in duties.

06

Sell tax-free, pass on in order

Gain on sale free of income tax in DE and AT after 1 year of holding. At purchase you name a beneficiary and change it any time. Tax-optimised, details in the call.

07

Prices you can verify

Every edition carries an international inventory number. The art insurer confirms the market value. Online, at galleries and auction houses you see in minutes what the same work last sold for.

08

Valued every year, fully insured

The art insurer confirms the market value of every work each year and insures it at replacement value. You always know what your portfolio is worth.

09

Liquid in parts, no fixed term

No tenant, no roof, no minimum term. Need 20,000 EUR? Sell 2 works, the rest stays put. Sell privately, via a gallery, at auction, online or through our partner.

Which art

Art photography in editions: which works serve you as an investment

  • Established artists. Museum history and an auction market, no bets on emerging talent.
  • Editions with provenance. You see edition size, origin and comparable prices.
  • A certificate of authenticity for every work. Origin and edition size documented.
  • Annual valuation. The art insurer revalues your portfolio, you receive the report.

Dear GoodbyeMatrix team,

The shipment of the passports from Antigua & Barbuda arrived safely with us this morning.

Thank you very much for your support - you were exceptionally efficient, responsive and professional. Very well done!

“GoodbyeMatrix did not simply help us get a new passport - they opened up a whole new level of sovereignty for us.”

Our new passports from Antigua & Barbuda arrived early this morning - and with them a central milestone on our path to cyber sovereignty.

What sets GoodbyeMatrix apart from other providers is the combination of structure, speed and genuine expertise. From the first call to the final implementation - everything ran smoothly and highly professionally.

Thank you for the support on this path to Flag Theory 3.0. We now feel truly free - global, secure and independent.

PeterPerson of independent means
★★★★★

“GoodbyeMatrix did not just walk us through the paperwork - they gave us a real sense of control and security.”

Our decision in favor of a second citizenship was driven by the concern of remaining able to act and remaining mobile in an emergency - whether pandemic, war or political unrest. Cyber sovereignty was not a theory for us, it was a necessity.

GoodbyeMatrix - and especially the team around Irish - made this path far easier for us. What at first looked like a document challenge was made solvable in only 3 to 4 weeks through clear structure, weekly checklists and constant support.

We particularly appreciated the transparency and reliability throughout the entire process. Thank you for this sovereign start into our personal Flag Theory 3.0.

“Cyber sovereignty for our family - with GoodbyeMatrix it became reality.”

As parents of four sons, our goal was clear: maximum freedom and protection for our children’s future - especially in view of the looming conscription in Germany. A second citizenship was our strategic plan B.

The path there was complex. Delays caused by German authorities, logistical challenges while we were traveling - it was anything but easy. But this is exactly where GoodbyeMatrix proved to be a real partner: with structured support, updated document checklists and personal guidance, the team led us through every single step.

Without the Sovereign Blueprint and the expertise of GoodbyeMatrix, we would never have been able to take this path so sovereignly and so efficiently. Today we are not only grateful - we are convinced. And we have already recommended GoodbyeMatrix several times.

Case study: the path to a second citizenship - with GoodbyeMatrix

Starting point: Increasing restrictions inside the EU - personally as well as financially - prompted us to look for a strategic way out: a second citizenship as part of our personal Sovereign Blueprint.

Challenge: Entering through the program in Grenada turned out to be bureaucratically demanding. Requirements, documents, processes - the reality was more complex than we had thought. In the end we decided to switch to Dominica.

Solution with GoodbyeMatrix: The team provided us with a structured checklist, accompanied certifications and translations, and answered every question quickly and competently. That support was the decisive difference between frustration and progress for us.

Room for improvement: The change of program was briefly bumpy in terms of communication - but it was quickly offset by clarity and efficiency in everything that followed.

Conclusion: Despite the hurdles: the value for money, the expertise in the field of Citizenship by Investment and the operational support convinced us. Anyone looking for reliable partners on the path to cyber sovereignty will find them at GoodbyeMatrix.

Security in uncertain times - to a second citizenship with GoodbyeMatrix

In a world full of economic uncertainty, geopolitical tension and growing risks, our decision was clear: we needed a plan B - and with it a second citizenship as a strategic building block of our cyber sovereignty.

What we expected: bureaucracy, language barriers and uncertainty. What we got: structure, clarity and an excellently organized team that accompanied us through the entire process.

What makes GoodbyeMatrix special:

Real closeness: The WhatsApp group was not lip service - we got answers quickly and directly, often within a few minutes.

Reliable structure: The English-language application process was never an obstacle thanks to German-language support. Every step was explained understandably.

Maximum efficiency: From collecting the documents to filing the application - everything ran smoothly.

We did not feel like a “customer” - but like partners on the path to Flag Theory 3.0. We would choose GoodbyeMatrix again at any time - and recommend them without reservation.

★★★★★

A strategic family decision: to cyber sovereignty with GoodbyeMatrix

For our family, acquiring a second citizenship was not a “nice to have” - it was a deliberate step toward security, freedom of action and future sovereignty. The reasons were clear: protection from conscription for our son. Freedom to travel for our mother-in-law. And a stable plan B for all of us.

Despite our previous experience with naturalization procedures, one thing quickly became clear: without GoodbyeMatrix the effort would have been incomparably higher.

What made the difference:

WhatsApp support in real time: no long waiting times, no standard answers - instead direct, competent guidance.

Translations & formalities? Taken off our hands completely.

The sovereign process: every step was well thought through, clear, smooth.

One concrete suggestion for improvement from our side: a visualized timeline at the start that makes the waiting phases transparent. Apart from that? Perfect execution and a full recommendation.

Christian F.
★★★★★

“A decision for our children’s future - and the most sovereign plan B one can have”

We deliberately decided on a second citizenship through the Citizenship by Investment program in Antigua & Barbuda - not only as security for our children, but as a strategic step toward cyber sovereignty. With the Sovereign Blueprint, GoodbyeMatrix gave us a clear structure that made the entire process plannable and manageable.

Thanks to the detailed checklists and the strong support from the team, putting the documents together was considerably easier than we had thought. Of course - it was work, but not hurdles that make you fail.

Particularly helpful: the WhatsApp support, which made quick responses possible, and the clear payment processes - transparent, efficient, trustworthy. Even under time pressure we felt safe. The GoodbyeMatrix team gave us the feeling of being in the best hands.

We recommend GoodbyeMatrix without reservation - anyone who wants to realize their personal plan B gets far more than advice here. You get a system, a strong network and the good feeling of being prepared - for whatever may come.

Frequently asked questions

Art investment: the key answers.

Is art a good investment?

For part of your wealth: yes. Your work of art is a tangible asset with no counterparty, independent of stock markets and interest rates. The portfolios of our cooperation partner gained between 8.7 and 14 % every year since 2018. Plan for at least 5, better 10 years of holding.

Which art is suited as an investment?

Art photography by established artists, contemporary art with museum history and an auction market, as editions with documented edition size, such as August Sander, Robert Frank, Richard Avedon and Vivian Maier.

How much do I need to invest in art?

Your portfolio starts at 30,000 EUR. From 50,000 EUR you get a direct appointment with our expert in Switzerland.

What does storage cost me?

Storage in a Swiss freeport, 100 % insurance, annual valuation and report come from one source. The terms are stated in your offer.

Where are my works and how safe is that?

In the Swiss freeport in Embrach near Zurich: climate-controlled, secured, under the supervision of Swiss customs, registered in your name and insured at 100 %. As long as they stay there, you pay no import duties.

Can I see the freeport or hang works at home?

Both. On fixed info days we show you the freeport from inside. You can have your works delivered at any time; the import duties of your country then apply.

Is art inheritance-tax optimised?

Potentially yes. Art can be passed on to the next generation in a tax-optimised way. Which structure fits you, we clarify in the call.

Do I pay tax on the gain when I sell?

No, not in Germany and Austria once you have held your works for at least 1 year. Everything else we clarify in the call.

How do I sell my art later?

Through the network of our cooperation partner, galleries or auction houses. Plan for 7 to 10 years of holding and allow time for the sale.

What are the risks of art as an investment?

The value follows the market and can fall. Art is not liquid, a sale takes time. Your works sit in a Swiss freeport in your name, not with the partner.
