Create a Yieldstreet IRA in 3 Easy Steps
Share on facebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Consolidating retirement accounts often seems like a lengthy and complicated process, however beneficial it seems. We kept this in mind when creating the Yieldstreet Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and were determined to offer Yieldstreet members a fast and easy way to help diversify their retirement portfolio outside of the stock market. In just three easy steps, you can be ready to invest with your IRA on Yieldstreet.

Step 1: From the accounts page on your portfolio add a new account, selecting the Yieldstreet IRA option. Then designate whether you would like to create a Traditional or Roth IRA.

Provide legally-required personal information: your government ID; beneficiary information; and documents to support your investor accreditation status. Or, if you already have an existing taxable account with us, you can simply recycle the information previously provided. 

Step 2: Fund your account

Fund your Yieldstreet IRA by transferring funds from another IRA account. Simply search for your current account provider (custodian) on our site. 

Finally, enter your current account number for this account, and tell us how much liquid cash you want to bring over. 

We handle the rest, and funds should arrive in your Yieldstreet wallet within 10 business days. 

You can also fund your account by rolling over funds from an eligible 401(k) plan. Your current employer might also allow you to roll over funds whilst still being employed there.  

Based on the amount deposited into your Yieldstreet IRA over the 2021 calendar year, low account maintenance fees will be charged. 

Step 3: Once we’ve received your funding request, we will send you a Yieldstreet IRA welcome packet for e-signing. Once you’ve signed, your account will be fully set up, and as soon as funds arrive in your Yieldstreet Wallet you’ll be ready to invest and closer to realizing your next level.

We believe our 10 alternative asset classes, track record across 470+ investments, third party reviews, and history of innovation makes Yieldstreet “The leading platform for private market investing,” as compared to other private market investment platforms.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections may not reflect actual future performance. All securities involve risk and may result in significant losses.

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 and Structured Notes programs, 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 June 30, 2024, after deduction of management fees and all other expenses charged to investments.

7 Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Yieldstreet Alternative Income Fund before investing. The prospectus for the Yieldstreet Alternative Income Fund contains this and other information about the Fund and can be obtained by emailing [email protected] or by referring to www.yieldstreetalternativeincomefund.com. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing in the Fund. Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits (and thus not insured by the FDIC or by any other federal governmental agency) and are not guaranteed by Yieldstreet or any other party.
