Investors can enter the private credit market via Percent with a minimum of $500, accessing a variety of asset-based securities and corporate loans.
Investing on Percent comes with inherent risks, despite efforts to minimize these through a proprietary risk framework for its own deals. The risk levels can vary across the platform, depending on whether Percent or a third party underwrites the deal.
Investing on Rally carries risks, including fluctuating investment values and no guaranteed selling price. The unique nature of collectible assets also introduces specific risks. Detailed risk factors are outlined in each asset's Offering Circular or Private Placement Memorandum, available in the asset's "Legal" section for investor review.
Liquidity on Percent, as with many private credit platforms, varies by investment. Generally, these investments are less liquid than public stocks, tied to longer-term commitments without guaranteed immediate access to funds.
Rally's platform offers liquidity through Live Trading, allowing investors to buy and sell shares in real-time during market hours via the PPEX ATS, after a 90-day lock-up period. Shares must be held for 5 business days before resale, with brokerage services provided by Dalmore Group, LLC, a FINRA and SIPC member.
As of February 1, 2024, Percent offers a 2.5% interest rate on idle cash in accounts and reports a historical weighted average APY of 13.41% on investments.
Rally's historical returns on collectible assets range from 1.35% to 84% over holding periods of 2 to 6 years. These all-time returns reflect the varied performance of different assets within this timeframe.
Percent offers investment horizons starting at 3 months, accommodating short-term investment strategies.
Investments on Rally typically have a 2 to 6-year horizon, suited for medium to long-term growth. A 90-day lock-up period post-Initial Offering restricts immediate trading, emphasizing a strategic, longer-term investment approach.
Percent accepts investments only from accredited investors in the U.S. with U.S. bank accounts, adhering to Reg D 506(c) exemption rules.
Rally is open to U.S. residents over 18 with a Social Security number, bank account, ID, and address in the contiguous United States, who pass KYC and AML checks.
Assets on Percent generally show lower volatility than public market investments due to the nature of private credit, which often involves fixed returns from contractual agreements.
The collectible assets on Rally, such as collector cars and memorabilia, exhibit volatility due to factors like consumer preferences, rarity, and market demand. Unlike traditional investments, their values can fluctuate unpredictably, reflecting the speculative nature of the collectibles market.
Percent is regulated under Regulation D, 506(c) of the Securities Act, allowing only accredited investors to participate after verifying their status.
Rally operates under strict regulatory oversight, offering securities regulated by the SEC and partnering with FINRA and SIPC-member broker-dealers, ensuring investor protection. Its operations and assets are regularly audited for compliance, financial accuracy, and asset authenticity.
Funds deposited with Percent are held at an FDIC-insured bank, ensuring protection up to $250,000, the maximum allowed by law, providing security for investors' capital in case of a bank failure.
Rally protects its collectible assets with comprehensive insurance to cover damages or losses, ensuring investor interests are safeguarded against unforeseen circumstances.
Percent provides returns through interest payments or fixed returns from private credit deals, rather than traditional dividends.
Rally primarily offers returns through capital appreciation rather than dividends, with investors benefiting from selling shares at a higher price than the purchase price, based on the asset's value increase over time.
Upon investment maturity on Percent, funds (principal and yield) are credited to the investor's account. Investors can then transfer these funds to an external account or reinvest.
Investors can get their money back by selling shares on Rally after the 90-day lock-up period, during market hours, via the app. Success in selling depends on market demand. Shares must be held for at least 5 business days before they can be resold.
From September 2023, Percent charges a fee of 10% on interest payments, not affecting the principal.
Rally charges no commissions or management fees on investments. Initial offerings include a sourcing fee detailed in each asset's offering circular. Instant Cash transfers incur a 1.5% fee with a $0.25 minimum, added to the transfer amount, but new users enjoy a 14-day fee waiver.
Percent provides investors with a consolidated 1099-INT form each tax year, reporting all investment income as ordinary income for tax purposes.
Rally issues 1099 tax documents to investors who sell shares or receive dividends, available in their Portfolio by March of the following year. Investors with active investments receive monthly statements, typically updated by the first week of each month, with new investments reflected within two months.
