Fundrise allows a minimum investment of $10 for taxable accounts and $1,000 for IRAs.
Investing with Fundrise involves risks such as limited liquidity, potential modifications to the share repurchase program, market volatility affecting asset values, the possibility of total investment loss, and regulatory changes impacting operations.
Yieldstreet investments, focused on high-yield, specialty lending, carry inherent risks higher than traditional investments, primarily due to the potential for borrower default.
Fundrise offers liquidity through its share repurchase program, allowing investors to redeem shares quarterly with no penalties or costs.
Yieldstreet's investments are generally less liquid, meaning they cannot be quickly sold for cash. These private market alternatives often require longer holding periods.
Investors on Fundrise can expect returns through dividends and appreciation, with an average income return of 4.81% over 7 years.
The expected net annualized return (IRR) for investors on Yieldstreet is 9.6%.

Dividends are paid quarterly, based on income from portfolio projects, and can be either reinvested or cashed out. Appreciation comes from increases in the value of the investment, reflected in the net asset value (NAV) of shares. Returns start accruing after investment settlement, typically within 5 business days, and can be tracked on the Investor Dashboard.
Yieldstreet offers varied dividend or interest payment structures: fixed income investments provide monthly payments at a target yield, diversified portfolios offer quarterly target yields, and art investments yield returns upon sale, all subject to specific terms and potential annualized net returns.
To withdraw funds from Fundrise, investors must submit a liquidation request. Liquidations are reviewed quarterly for most funds, with a waiting period for the eFund.

Liquidations are processed on a "First in, first out" basis.
Investors on Yieldstreet receive distributions directly into their Yieldstreet Wallet and can withdraw these funds to their bank account as desired.
Fundrise charges a 0.15% annual advisory fee, a 0.85% management fee for real estate funds, and a 1.85% management fee for the Innovation Fund. Early liquidation of eREIT or eFund shares before 5 years incurs a 1% penalty.
Yieldstreet's fees include a range from 0% to 2.5% annual management fees, structured notes incur a 1.25% annual management fee plus a $150 annual fund expense, the Yieldstreet Alternative Income Fund charges a 1.0% annual management fee and up to a 0.5% annual administrative expense.
Fundrise investors can expect Form 1099-DIV for eREITs or interval funds with distributions over $10, Schedule K-1 for eFund shares, and Form 1099-B for liquidated shares. Tax documents are issued at the end of January for 1099-DIVs and mid-March for K-1s, available on the investor dashboard. Multiple funds in a portfolio may result in receiving multiple tax forms.
Yieldstreet issues either a K-1 or 1099 form for tax purposes, based on the legal structure of the investment, with details provided on the offering page and in downloadable documents when new offerings are launched.
