Fractional investing + live auctions 🤝 |
aShareX is world’s first fractional auction platform for alternative investments |
Fractional investment platforms have a big problem: arbitrary asset valuations. |
aShareX has solved this problem by combining fractional ownership with auctions. |
It’s a novel concept. Auctions offer market-determined asset valuations with the potential to revolutionize how investors access high-value alternative assets. |
| aShareX has developed a unique system which allows fractional bidding up to desired investment amount. This emphasis on market-driven price discovery is a solution to the problem of arbitrary asset valuations. You can practice bidding with Test Drive an Auction™ |
|
How It works: |
Browse upcoming auctions of unique treasures, like fine art, collectible cars, rare diamonds, and sports memorabilia. Bid for fractional shares (or full ownership). You control your entry price. Minimum bids start at $1,000. Vote. Shareholders decide whether to sell each asset annually. Unbiased 3rd -party appraisals help you decide. |
