Some rooms are worth earning your way into.
The Asset Club is one of them.
Entry here is selective, and that is the point.
What is The Asset Club (TAC)?
TAC is a private room, open by invitation and facilitated by @Design Global. It brings together a select group of founders, investors, collectors, and professionals who work in business, capital, alternative assets and fine art. Members maintain active exposure to markets that typically move ahead of mainstream awareness, including South Asian and emerging market art, Indo-Pacific trade networks, early-stage ventures, and intentional wealth building. Membership begins with an expression of interest, which is reviewed personally before an invitation is considered.
What it’s not.
TAC is not a networking group, a social community, forum, or a broadcast feed. It is built around relevant intelligence and meaningful access. Connections are facilitated with care, and the environment stays private.
Inside TAC?
See what matters early:
Members receive market perspective and observations drawn from @Design Global’s advisory work and HE Group’s position in the South Asian and alternative art market. It is expert-led market intelligence that is carefully vetted and not available to the general public.
Intelligence over noise:
The channel carries only what is worth carrying. It is read-only; members don’t post, or interact with each other, which leaves them free to act on what is relevant to them.
Join the right conversation:
Occasionally, a small number of invited members come together for a private roundtable on a specific topic, facilitated by the TAC team. These happen when the subject and the right people are both ready.
Come to us when it matters:
Bring a question or an opportunity to the dedicated contact point, which reaches the curatorial team behind TAC directly. If someone worth meeting comes to mind, we make the introduction where there is a fit.
How membership works
Founding access:
TAC is currently free for selected members during the founding period. Any future change will be communicated well in advance, and founding members keep their standing regardless of what applies to future entrants.
If a deal happens:
Where a TAC introduction leads to a commercial outcome, whether a transaction, a partnership, a capital raise or a market entry, a facilitation fee applies. The structure is agreed before any introduction is made, and every arrangement is set in advance.
Keep it through TAC:
Members who see a potential fit with another member bring it to the TAC team, and the introduction is made from the centre. Members do not approach each other directly.
What you can expect as a member
Spot opportunities earlier:
A detailed read on businesses, markets, assets and early opportunities before they are widely noticed.
Meet the right people:
Introductions to founders, investors, collectors and professionals relevant to what you are working on, made with full context on both sides.
Explore deals with context:
When an opportunity comes through TAC, you receive the background and the right people to speak to before deciding what to do.
Understand the art market from the inside:
A practitioner-level view of South Asian and emerging art markets, from the team that identifies undervalued artists before the wider market catches up.
Who TAC is for
TAC is for people with something real at stake. Founders who are scaling, raising capital, preparing for a transition or entering a new market. Investors with exposure to alternative assets, early-stage ventures, Indo-Pacific markets or art. Collectors who treat art as part of a wider wealth strategy. Senior professionals at a turning point where the right connection could change the outcome. Expressions of interest are taken forward when they reflect genuine activity or intent.
