Here are the top five stories in Miami today:

1. A suspect in a 2017 shooting death at a Bradenton nightclub has been arrested during a traffic stop in Miami and was being held Thursday Miami-Dade County Jail on multiple charges, including the murder of Jarvis Isom Jr., the sheriff’s office said. (Bradenton Patch)

2. The team behind Soho House will expand its growing portfolio of membership clubs by opening a second Soho House in South Florida, Miami Pool House, in late 2022. It will be located in a former printing press, Windward Publishing, which was recently a private residence near Wynwood and Edgewater. (Ocean Drive Magazine)

3. Artist and community-figure Vida Sofia is hosting a Raw Figs figure drawing class most weeks around Miami. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged. The pop-up drawing classes were inspired by the pandemic and an inability to travel, but a strong desire to get outdoors. (Miami New Times)

4. Sami Qureshi, the South Florida man who confessed to a shooting at Broward Health Coral Springs, appeared in court on Thursday. Judge Phoebe Francois set Qureshi’s bond at $200,000. He is also accused of attempting to steal $30 worth of groceries from a Publix at 10155 W. Oakland Park Blvd. (WSVN)

5. Omega Real Estate Management has been approved for a $100 million construction loan for the multifamily portion of its planned mixed-use project, The Gardens District project, in North Miami.

Are you a Miami resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
