Diversifiedportfolio: Each portfolio includes three different income notes tied to three different stocks, allowing investors to diversify their risk.
Diligent investment approach: Income structured notes are purchased based on a transparent process that requires each underlying stock to meet certain criteria, which is expected to minimize the likelihood of any significant price decline.

Investment details
What am I investing in?
A structured note is a debt security issued by major financial institutions. Its returns are linked to the performance of an underlying stock. Structured notes can be income and/or growth focused. Yieldstreet primarily only offers portfolios of income structured notes.
ST Income Notes Diversified Portfolio XV will initially invest in 3 individual income structured notes, each referencing different underlying stocks; Halliburton Company (HAL), Target Corporation (TGT) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG).
Each income structured note has varying characteristics, including yield (coupon), downside protection barrier and strike price.
Each portfolio includes three income notes, meaning even if one income note misses their quarterly coupon, the other two still have the potential to pay their coupons that quarter. This structure helps mitigate risks of each underlying income note.
Additionally, the issuing bank also reserves the right to call a structured note ahead of maturity. Should a note be called on the first observation date following the conclusion of the call protection period, called proceeds may reinvested in a new 160 day note such that the maturity of the portfolio does not exceed 9 months. If a note is called following the first observation period, called proceeds will be distributed back to investors as they are received.
Investment strategy
What is the value proposition?
The portfolio is designed to help shield investors from market downturns and seeks to generate a quarterly coupon payment that is outpacing inflation.
The underlying stocks would need to fall below their downside protection barrier before a quarterly coupon payment is missed or principal repayment is impacted.
For example, consider an investor invests in a stock of company A and an income structured note tied to the performance of the underlying stock A.
The income structured note pays a 10% coupon with a 30% downside protection barrier, and a 12 month maturity.
If the price of the stock A decreases by 5% at maturity, the returns of the income structured note (assuming the value of the underlying stock remained above the downside protection barrier for the whole period) tied to the performance of stock A would be 10% (coupon), while the returns of the actual stock would be -5%.
In this scenario, if the portfolio consisted of 50% stock and 50% income structured notes, the investor would make a 5% profit overall (hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only).
See the Series Note Supplement which illustrates the outcome if the underlying stock of the structured note falls below the downside protection barrier at maturity.

Market backdrop
Why should you consider investing?
With inflation running at ~8% this portfolio can be attractive to investors looking to generate income that is outpacing inflation.
The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has been on the rise in recent months, and investors may benefit from built-in downside protection to help protect their capital in the event that stock valuations continue to fall.

Underlying stocks must be Member of S&P 500
Market cap >$10B
Positive net income for current year
Forward P/E ratio less than the sector’s average or PEG (price to earnings growth) <1 or annual revenue growth >20%

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.

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.
