As 2025 comes to an end, it’s time to look back at what was achieved. For us, there is no other way to do it than to look at our Exits.
Our exit strategy for this year was built around two core pillars:
The result was the strongest exit performance to date. In 2025 alone, we completed 28 exits, bringing the total number of exits on Timeless to 62. Across these assets, investors achieved an average gross ROI of 24.88%, with a holding period of 22 months.
With 9 exits in 2025, art delivered an average gross return of ~26% with a relatively short average holding period of just 11.3 months. Two artists in particular defined the year: Lynn Chadwick and Thierry Noir, together accounting for 4 of the 9 art exits.
All of these works were sourced and exited through our partner Baldwin Contemporary, a clear example of how strong partnerships translate into strong results. By working closely with trusted specialists, we are able to source high-quality artworks at attractive entry prices and leverage their extensive network of established art collectors to realise timely exits and robust profits for our investors.
Another category that stood out in 2025 was Memorabilia & Other, accounting for 4 exits. While typically characterised by longer holding periods, the assets delivered an average gross ROI of ~21.8% in 36.6 months.
The best exits:
We first acquired this asset during Sotheby’s ‘Natural History, which included the famous Apex the Stegosaurus’ auction, in July last year. A fossil collector and expert in the field discovered the asset via our platform and contacted us directly with his interest to buy this piece. With this exit, we were able to deliver a gross profit of 22.4% in only 8.5 months to our investors.
This exit delivered a 23.64% gross return in just 16 months. This piece was also discovered by a dedicated LEGO® collector on our website who contacted us directly by submitting an offer on the asset page.
This exit achieved a 29.41% gross return over a holding period of 19.5 months. The camera was successfully placed with a dedicated collector through the network of our camera partner, who originally sourced the asset to Timeless. This exit highlights the strength of our partner driven approach.
Another special highlight is that we were able to realize 5 exits in the cards and games category, delivering 21.7% gross ROI in an average holding period of 36.6 months. Though the wait is longer, it showcases that patience with collectibles pays off.
Here the highlight goes to the Pokémon 1st Edition Raichu card, which delivered 35.96% in 40.5 months.
Our main categories account for 10 exits, delivering 27.7% gross ROI in an average holding period of 28.8 months. The top 3 is occupied by two whiskies and one watch, when it comes to annualized ROI:
Next year, we will scale our exit strategy with an even stronger emphasis on asset visibility. Our focus will be on consistently placing assets in renowned auctions and international listing platforms worldwide, while also building our own proprietary marketplace to list and sell assets directly.
Visibility remains a key driver of successful exits and will stay central to our strategy. In parallel, we will continue expanding our network of specialist partners and auction houses to broaden reach and unlock additional exit opportunities. By bringing our assets more prominently into the global collector spotlight, we aim to accelerate exits and further improve performance for our investors.
