HSBC Private Banking recently hosted "Artfully Investing: An Art Market Update and Private Planning Discussion" at the Berry Campbell Gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan.

A distinguished panel, moderated by Carly Doshi, Head of Wealth Planning and Advisory at HSBC, was present to provide insights on art market trends and collection strategies.

Panel members, including Christine Berry, Co-Founder of the Berry Campbell Gallery; Gabrielle Segal, Founder of GS Art Concierge; and Ron Fiamma, President and Co-Founder of Treadwell, addressed crucial topics such as art valuation, estate planning, and the integration of art assets into a broader financial strategy.
