12 % Optimistic Scenario: The Picasso Artprice Index for paintings, from the year 2000 to date, produced an IRR average of 14.79%

10%  Neutral Scenario: Fillette au béret own price index by recorded transaction since 1964 had an ROI of 12.04% annualized.

7% Pessimistic Scenario: The lowest return achieved at any given time by Fillette au béret was 8.4% in the last 5 years. The Picasso Artprice All Art Index, which includes a broad spectrum of works from lithographs, etchings, multiples, ceramics, etc., produced an IRR average of 9.5% since the year 2000.

Fillette au béret, during the Bertil Newman Collection ownership of 37 years and seven months, grew steadily from $45,567 paid at Sotheby´s in 1979 to $3,012,991 all-in paid at auction on December 16th, 2016. This represents an 11.8% annualized ROI.

The above scenarios are based on an analysis of every painting auctioned since 1964 and every painting privately sold and publicly recorded found from 1960-1970 (79 events since 1985 and 38 private sales, respectively).
