John Arena

Spear's Review

Previously subject matter expert at the Bank of America’s art division, John Arena is now head of fine art lending at Deutsche Bank, working with ultra high net worth individuals to structure and procure loans and asset financing for art works and collections.

Deutsche Bank’s art department offers finance to fund acquisitions of more art, or to use existing collections to fund other investments, freeing the relatively illiquid assets in a high value art collection to underpin liquid funding for other projects.

In a long career in lending, Arena worked with art financing at Citibank before joining the Bank of America, and in more general credit related positions and Chase Manhattan and Bank of New York.
