Every collection you are responsible for, fully known.

Title Collections brings financial risk management to art and collectibles. We were built inside Lloyd's Lab, the insurance market's own proving ground, and we work for the professionals who own the client relationship, carry the risk, or steward the collection. Montreal and New York.

Born in Lloyd's Lab.

Lloyd's Lab is the insurtech accelerator of Lloyd's of London. Working inside it, with syndicates and underwriters, we saw that the collections behind policies, estates, and balance sheets lacked the governance every other asset class takes for granted: no inventory, no defensible values, no way to manage the risk. We built Title to close that gap, for everyone responsible for a collection.

  1. 01

    It starts with a conversation

    Peer to peer, about what you are responsible for and where the exposure usually sits. You leave with a clear read on the problem and what it takes to close it.

  2. 02

    Our team does the work

    Specialists chosen after due diligence, briefed, coordinated, and reviewed by us. You receive the outcome in the format you already use.

  3. 03

    Everything on the record

    Every object, every value, and every change on one register, attributed and timestamped, kept current every quarter.

What we stand for.

  • Stewardship

    We serve the professionals who carry responsibility for high-value assets, and we take that responsibility as seriously as they do.

  • Rigor

    Institutional standards, defensible processes, complete audit trails. Every number has an author and a date.

  • Discretion

    We work in the background. Our name appears on your client’s file only if you want it there.

  • Independence

    We have no stake in the value. Our advice does not change with the number.

Leadership

A small team, and the same people from the first conversation to the report. We work with art and collectibles every day, so you do not have to.

George Fortin, MBA

Managing Director

George leads the firm and the client work. He spent over a decade in real estate private equity at PSP Investments, leading North American developments with art placemaking, WELL certification, and sustainability reporting built in.

He founded Title inside Lloyd's Lab, after seeing with syndicates and underwriters that collections lacked the governance every other institutional asset class takes for granted. He brings that discipline to every engagement.

Sahil Dawka, MEng

Director of AI and Engineering

Sahil builds and runs the tools behind the work: Steward, the register our clients' collections live on, and the models that watch for drift in value and documentation. His background is enterprise platform architecture, systems built to be audited.

His standard for the toolbox is the firm’s standard for the work: every change attributed and timestamped, the model a trigger and never the arbiter, nothing for the client to install.

Alex Kwok, MFA

Director of Collection Management and Operations

Alex runs the collection work: inventory, cataloguing to the Getty Object ID standard, and the coordination of specialists on every valuation. He built that expertise on TD Bank's curatorial team, managing over 6,000 works across more than 1,000 locations.

He has implemented collection management systems at institutions and knows how they actually operate, not how they look from the outside. That experience is behind every inventory we deliver.

Pascal Kropf, PhD

Director of Data Science

Pascal leads the firm's research and data work. Art and collectibles are a hard large-scale data problem: few comparable transactions, most of them unrecorded. His research on automated valuation models is the basis of our position that a model can flag drift, and only a qualified appraiser can set a value.

He builds the quarterly read: scoring a book for documentation gaps and probable drift, so appraisal happens only where it is needed.
