Milind Mehere’s Mission to Democratize Alternative Investments

YieldStreet strives to democratize investing. When I was looking for investments that offered real collateral and attractive yields outside the stock market, it was virtually impossible for accredited investors (like me) to access such opportunities. These types of investments typically demand high minimums and extended holding periods, effectively shutting out most investors, who are then forced to leave their funds in lower-yield CDs or savings accounts or, ultimately, spend it. I had an epiphany that my family and friends faced similar issues. I passionately set about finding a solution that would make solid investments more inclusive and allow everyday investors to access them, as opposed to those opportunities I’d encountered, which were reserved for multimillionaires, hedge funds, or institutional investors.

The Yield

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 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 Mar 28th, 2022, after deduction of management fees and all other expenses charged to investments.
