About the founder

With over a decade of expertise in private banking, art, business, investment and financial management Greg is regarded as one of Australia’s specialists in the Wealth Management, art and Investment fields.

In his books Investing in Australian Aboriginal Art, Financial Planning for High Net-Worth Clients  and Why You Need a Financial Adviser Nazvanov explains  that art does not readily springs to mind when thinking of investment alternatives, but its long-term performance record argues that it should be.  

His research further suggests that Australian Aboriginal art outperforms other types of art and helps people to see the investment opportunity that Australian Aboriginal art as a separate asset class represents, particularly art by the emerging elders.  Within the arts, when we think of ‘emerging artists’, we typically think of ‘young artists’.  However, in Australian Aboriginal art beginning a career in painting or sculpture later in life is most common, after a lifetime of other endeavours.  Unfortunately, the life expectancy of Aboriginal people living in remote area is far shorter than that of non-Indigenous Australians, which also means that many elder artists’ careers are often short-lived.

Before founding ArtTrust.com.au and beginning his writing career, Nazvanov spent a decade coaching and advising clients at Credit Suisse, BT, Westpac Bank and worked closely with investment managers like Macquarie, Colonial, Platinum, ING, Deutsche, Barclays, Vanguard, Investors Mutual, Merrill Lynch, Platinum, Merrill Lynch, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs JBWere, Templeton, Man, AXA, Tyndall, Zurich, Fidelity, UBS and other asset managers.
