Fundrise allows a minimum investment of $10 for taxable accounts and $1,000 for IRAs.
Investing with Vint carries inherent risks, including market volatility and economic fluctuations that can impact the value of wine and spirits collections. The lack of a secondary market further increases risk by limiting early exit opportunities for investors.
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.
Vint currently does not offer a secondary market for the trading of interests in its wine and spirits collections, which means that investors generally lack immediate liquidity options.
Fundrise offers liquidity through its share repurchase program, allowing investors to redeem shares quarterly with no penalties or costs.
Vint has achieved a net annualized return of 28.7%, calculated from realized exits of its investment offerings, reflecting the aggregate average performance of the platform's assets under management.
Investors on Fundrise can expect returns through dividends and appreciation, with an average income return of 4.81% over 7 years.
Vint's investment time horizon for its collections spans 1 to 3 years on average.
Fundrise is designed for long-term investments, ideally for a period of 5 or more years, due to its focus on strategies aimed at long-term return potential.
Investment opportunities with Vint are open to accredited investors, who must satisfy certain SEC-mandated financial criteria.
To be eligible to invest with Fundrise, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 18 years old, have permanent residency in the United States, possess a valid U.S. tax ID, and file taxes in the U.S. The platform is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors.
The wine and spirits market experiences volatility, which can lead to rapid changes in the value of Vint's collections.
Assets on the Fundrise platform, such as private real estate and venture capital, typically show lower volatility compared to public stocks and bonds, due to less frequent valuation updates and reduced exposure to daily market swings.
Vint adheres to SEC regulations by providing offering circulars for public investment and undergoes regular audits to maintain financial transparency and regulatory compliance.
Fundrise is regulated by the SEC and must comply with strict reporting, disclosure, and operational standards. It undergoes regular independent audits to verify financial accuracy, legal compliance, and the effectiveness of its internal controls, ensuring transparency and integrity in its operations for investor protection.
Vint's investment assets are professionally stored and fully insured, with a strategic focus on location, primarily in the UK and additional facilities in the US, to align with potential sale markets.
Investments on Fundrise, including real estate and alternative assets, are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency, exposing investors to the risk of loss without insurance protection.
Vint does not issue regular dividends; returns are generated from the sale of assets at a gain.
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.
Investors receive funds from Vint after a collection is sold and proceeds are distributed, less any applicable fees.
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. No penalty is charged for liquidating shares from the Flagship, Income, or Innovation Funds, but eREIT and eFund shares held for less than five years may incur a penalty. Liquidations are processed on a "First in, first out" basis.
Vint applies a transaction fee of 2.85% on both the purchase and sale of wine shares, encompassing costs for acquisition, storage, insurance, and selling. Additionally, there is a spread fee of 1.5% applied to the transactions of wine shares.
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.
After a collection sale, Vint issues pro-rata proceeds to shareholders and provides a 1099-DIV for tax reporting, prioritizing the settlement of any liabilities first.
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.
