Pi-eX's innovative financial instruments - the Contract on Future Sales (CFS) - are an answer to the issue of volatility in the fine art market. CFS allow art sellers to hedge their risk versus an upcoming sale, while providing 1) art buyers with an opportunity to hedge future potential purchases and 2) institutional investors with a standard financial contract allowing them to take an ecomomic exposure to the fine art market.
In February 2016 Pi-eX received the authorization from the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) to arrange and sell its Contracts on Future Sales (CFS).
