What is the Yieldstreet Prism Fund?

February 18, 2020 • 5 min read

The Yieldstreet Prism Fund allows you to access numerous alternative asset classes, all within a single fund. Though the concept of funds is not new, the ability for retail investors like yourself to invest in such a wide range of alternatives all with a single allocation is new to the market.

The Yieldstreet Prism Fund is open to all investors and allows individuals the opportunity to build a portfolio of fixed-income alternative investments—meaning a portfolio of investments that when performing pay interest, dividends or distributions until their maturity.

With the Yieldstreet Prism Fund, you make one allocation that is spread across multiple asset classes that helps provide your portfolio with diversification.¹ You can think of the Fund as a building tool that assists you in creating a fixed-income portfolio. The Fund is managed solely by Yieldstreet and invests in both cash flow-backed and asset-backed Yieldstreet opportunities.

Why is this exciting?

The Yieldstreet Prism Fund allows us to further deliver on our mission to provide novel investing opportunities to both those who have previously invested with Yieldstreet, as well as those who are new to our platform. This Fund can be an effective way to provide diversification to your investment portfolio.¹ As an alternative to a single investment (such as a traditional Yieldstreet offering of a single asset class), the use of a multi-asset fund allows us to potentially minimize downside risk for our investors more than we were previously able to do.

How is the Yieldstreet Prism Fund different from Yieldstreet single asset class offerings?

Unlike traditional Yieldstreet offerings, the Yieldstreet Prism Fund is exactly that, a fund. When investing in the Fund, you are purchasing shares of a Closed-End Fund (CEF) that will invest across multiple assets. The value of these shares is calculated using the Fund’s Net Asset Value, or what is also referred to as NAV. The NAV is then updated at least once on a quarterly basis. You can learn more about NAV and how it related to the Yieldstreet Prism Fund here.

What else should I know?

The Yieldstreet Prism Fund is an evergreen fund. However, investors (pending approval of the Fund’s board of directors) may have the option for limited liquidity.² If you’re not familiar with the concept of liquidity, we have resources for you that explore the concept.

This option for limited liquidity for the Fund is a distinction from traditional single-asset offerings that are currently available on the Yieldstreet platform, which currently do not offer the option for liquidity.³

¹The YieldStreet Prism Fund is a non-diversified closed-end fund for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“40 Act”), and is therefore not a 40 Act “diversified” product.

²The Fund intends to offer to repurchase shares from investors at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Directors and depending upon the performance of the Fund under its Share Repurchase Program. The Fund will limit the number of shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program in any calendar year to no more than 20% of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or no more than 5% in each quarter. If the number of shares submitted for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program by investors exceeds the number of shares the Fund seeks to repurchase, the Fund will repurchase shares from investors on a pro-rata basis, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. The Fund may also, if the Board of Directors so approves, undertake one or more tender offers outside of our Share Repurchase Program prior to March 9, 2024, which was previously our termination date. The timing and terms and conditions of any such tender offers will be determined by the Board of Directors.

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.

² Represents an average net realized internal rate of return (IRR) with respect to all matured investments in your portfolio, utilizing the effective dates and amounts to and from the investments and net of management fees and all other expenses charged to the investments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and should not be relied upon as the basis for making an investment decision. All securities involve risk and may result in significant losses, including the loss of principal invested.[read more]

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.
