Yieldstreet investments, focused on high-yield, specialty lending, carry inherent risks higher than traditional investments, primarily due to the potential for borrower default.
Investing in Streitwise involves risks such as market fluctuations affecting real estate values, limited liquidity with a one-year lockout period and potential for delayed redemptions, discounts on early redemption reducing investment value, concentration in specific real estate markets, reliance on management's decision-making, regulatory changes impacting operations, and sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Yieldstreet's investments are generally less liquid, meaning they cannot be quickly sold for cash. These private market alternatives often require longer holding periods.
Streitwise's Redemption Plan offers investors a structured way to sell their shares back to the company, starting after a one-year lockout period. Redemption before five years involves a discount, with full NAV redemption available after five years.
The expected net annualized return (IRR) for investors on Yieldstreet is 9.6%.
