The Artist Pension Trust (APT) offers artists a system to bank their artworks for their future security.

Conceived of by the high-tech entrepreneur and art collector, Moti Shniberg, the idea is to create a pension plan for artists by assembling a collection of their artworks, which would then be gradually sold as their careers developed and market demands increased.
