PHOTOS: Bloomberg + Yieldstreet – Wealth in 2100

A discussion about the future of wealth creation

It’s clear the current systems and products available for wealth creation are broken. More people buy coffee than stocks, and those who do participate in market investments have a hard time getting ahead and generating true wealth. There is little differentiation in existing products, with too much volatility and not enough education. If we tore down what exists today – what would the ideal portfolio look like? What products and services should everyone have access to as part of their financial health? What law or regulatory systems need to change? Bloomberg and YieldStreet co-hosted an intimate and invitation-only symposium to tackle these big issues around the future of wealth creation. Attendees included influencers and experts from personal finance, technology, academia, and the media. The event was moderated by Editor-in-Chief of Bloomberg Businessweek, Joel Weber.

What's Yieldstreet?

Yieldstreet provides access to alternative investments previously reserved only for institutions and the ultra-wealthy. Our mission is to help millions of people generate $3 billion of income outside the traditional public markets by 2025. We are committed to making financial products more inclusive by creating a modern investment portfolio.

³ "Annual interest," "Annualized Return" or "Target Returns" represents a projected annual target rate of interest or annualized target return, and not returns or interest actually obtained by fund investors. “Term" represents the estimated term of the investment; the term of the fund is generally at the discretion of the fund’s manager, and may exceed the estimated term by a significant amount of time. Unless otherwise specified on the fund's offering page, target interest or returns are based on an analysis performed by Yieldstreet of the potential inflows and outflows related to the transactions in which the strategy or fund has engaged and/or is anticipated to engage in over the estimated term of the fund. There is no guarantee that targeted interest or returns will be realized or achieved or that an investment will be successful. Actual performance may deviate from these expectations materially, including due to market or economic factors, portfolio management decisions, modelling error, or other reasons.

⁴ Reflects the annualized distribution rate that is calculated by taking the most recent quarterly distribution approved by the Fund's Board of Directors and dividing it by prior quarter-end NAV and annualizing it. The Fund’s distribution may exceed its earnings. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distribution may be a return of the money you originally invested and represent a return of capital to you for tax purposes.

⁵ Represents the sum of the interest accrued in the statement period plus the interest paid in the statement period.

⁶ The internal rate of return ("IRR") represents an average net realized IRR with respect to all matured investments, excluding our Short Term Notes program, weighted by the investment size of each individual investment, made by private investment vehicles managed by YieldStreet Management, LLC from July 1, 2015 through and including July 18th, 2022, after deduction of management fees and all other expenses charged to investments.
