Esquire Bank

ORIGINATOR PROFILE

Esquire Bank (“Bank”) is a full-service commercial bank. The bank went public in 2017 (NASDAQ: ESQ). Esquire bank serves professional service firms, law professionals, small to mid-sized businesses, and individuals. The Bank focuses on servicing these businesses, their owners, and employees, giving them direct access to key decision-makers including our senior and executive managers.

The Bank provides relationship banking through their high-tech / high-touch approach. The Bank’s team has designed a full range of banking services and products with competitive deposit and loan rates. The Bank’s systems use the latest technology, providing clients with customized tools to efficiently conduct their banking business. Specifically, the Bank’s financial management suite effectively provides their customers with a bank branch in their own office.

Additionally, due to the substantial ties that many of the Bank's board members and organizers have to the legal community, the Bank provides specialized banking services to small- to mid-size law firms and supporting organizations in the New York metropolitan area, as well as nationally. The Bank has extensive knowledge of this industry and provides products and services that it believes differentiate it from competitors.

The Bank prides itself on having maintained a disciplined approach to lending over the past turbulent years. This approach, mandated by the Board of Directors and executed by CEO Andrew Sagliocca and his team, has resulted in the Bank having one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry. The Bank has weathered the financial crisis, thereby conserving shareholder value. The Bank’s strong balance sheet, new product offerings and depth of management create an enormous opportunity to grow its business within the trial bar and other client segments.

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 July 18th, 2022, after deduction of management fees and all other expenses charged to investments.
