Low correlation: Art prices have remained stable in prior periods of equity downturn, making it a strong form of loan collateral. * Track record: This portfolio is the successor to Diversified Art Portfolio I, which was initially launched in 2019 and has consistently paid investors on a monthly basis at the target yield. Additional loans and collateral are expected to be added to the portfolio over time.---

Investment details
What am I investing in?
- A pool of eight distinct first lien loans, each secured by separate diversified collateral pools of art, consisting of a combined 159 unique pieces of 'Contemporary,' 'Impressionist,' and 'Old Masters' artworks by 104 renowned artists such as Mark Bradford, Kerry James Marshall, Anselm Kiefer, and Rudolf Stingel.
- The total combined third-party appraised value of all artworks backing the underlying loans is approximately $157M. The valuation methodology utilized is discounted to reflect the net sale proceeds that the lender would expect to receive if the artworks were sold in the event of a borrower default.
- In addition to the conservative valuation, the portfolio of loans has a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 45.6%, meaning that before any fees and expenses related to collection, the artworks would need to sell for only 45.6% of their appraised value to fully recoup investor capital. Should a default event occur, Yieldstreet has experience effectuating successful work out strategies to help recover investor capital.
- As part of the underwriting process, the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) of each underlying loan has also provided a personal guarantee to ensure the Borrower complies with their loan obligations.
- All collateral pieces are reappraised by a third-party appraiser on an annual basis to ensure the maximum permitted LTV threshold is not exceeded, aiming to ensure that there is always a cushion to help protect investor capital.

Who is the originator and how was it diligenced?
- Athena has originated and underwritten over $620M in art-backed loans since its inception in 2015. Athena focuses on the premium, blue-chip segment of the art market, lending against works by artists that have exhibited market depth and relative liquidity. Since inception, the originator has had 17 transactions fully repay all principal and has not realized any losses.
- All artwork collateral is valued by an independent, third-party appraiser. The Originator also retained museum conservators to physically inspect each piece and to issue a report on the artworks’ condition. These condition reports and valuations were considered in deriving an appropriate LTV and structure for the portfolio of loans.
- In addition, the artwork collateral is all insured by standard all risk fine art policies underwritten by insurance companies with an A.M.
- Whenever possible, Athena aims to maintain possession of the collateral backing the underlying loans. The collateral is primarily stored in secure fine art storage facilities so that the quality of works is preserved and in the lender's physical possession should the lender need to sell the artworks in the event of borrower default. Should the collateral be held in borrower’s possession, Athena will conduct location checks at least once annually and will maintain agreements with the borrowers, granting access to the works.
- Before any loan is added to the portfolio, Athena receives certificates on each piece of artwork collateral from an international database provider that monitors lost, stolen and disputed artworks. These certificates state that there are no known reports that the work has ever been lost or stolen. Legal searches, including UCC liens, bankruptcy, judgments, tax and litigation in relevant jurisdictions, are also run to assess potential contingent liabilities of the obligors and certain affiliates.

Why should you consider investing?
- In this turbulent economic environment, investing in true asset-backed loans may provide investor principal with protection because the collateral can be sold to reduce outstanding amounts owed should a borrower fail to meet repayment obligations.
- By looking at historical data from instances of wars and economic recessions, we can draw some conclusions about how art prices may behave should these events occur during the life of the investments.
- Based on MeiMoses, the leading historic art index, during the last major global financial crisis, auction prices fell by roughly 27.2% between 2007 and 2009. However, for comparison, during this same time period, the S&P 500 fell 57% from its peak in October 2007 and hit a 12-year low in early March 2009.
- Moreover, by 2011, total art sales had rebounded and matched 2007 levels. By comparison, the S&P 500 took an additional two years, reaching pre-crisis trading levels in 2013. This indicates that art values may be less impacted than other asset classes during downturns and that the art market has historically demonstrated a quicker rebound than the equity markets.
- The art market is also becoming more liquid. In the last 10 years, turnover has doubled. In the last 20 years, it has multiplied by 31X. Increased liquidity and turnover suggests that the loans' collateral could be sold efficiently and effectively in the event of borrower default and the need to recover proceeds.

- Similar to Diversified Art Debt Portfolio I, Diversified Art Debt Portfolio II has a senior loan from a financial institution secured by a first priority security interest in the loans.
- While there are be two distinct offerings, both the loans held by Diversified Art Debt Portfolio I and Diversified Art Debt Portfolio II have the same senior loan and are cross-collateralized (as the loans currently included in Diversified Art Portfolio I are today).
