Our growth and expansion over the past year allowed our investors to leverage tangible assets coupled with what we believe is a best-in-class investment philosophy. We’re proud to be one of the few platforms that allow investors to build multi-asset portfolios.

An Artistic Acquisition

YieldStreet acquired the art finance company, Athena Art Finance. The goal of this acquisition was to help give investors exposure to the growing market of art finance. The acquisition proved successful, with art offerings averaging an expected yield of roughly 10% per annum.

"We're excited about the YieldStreet family and the company’s energy and technology. We're thrilled to be able to take our business to the next level."

Short Term Notes

Launching Short Term Notes provided our investors access to a different stage in the investment process. Investors can now pre-fund upcoming offerings before they launch on the YieldStreet platform.

“Given our investor-first mentality, we thought, why not provide YieldStreet investors an additional avenue to earn interest?”

Tax-Efficient Investing

The acquisition of WealthFlex, a first of its kind digital IRA platform provides investors with fast, easy, and cost-effective access to private investment opportunities through their Self-Directed IRA.
