2020

Year in Review

Looking forward to the future

As founders of Yieldstreet, we’ve always known that a company is only as strong as the team that drives it. This year, through the perseverance of our team, we learned the true strength of Yieldstreet. 

We’d be remiss not to acknowledge the difficulties that the past 9 months have brought. Regardless of the uncertainty, we have never wavered in our commitment to you, our investors. 

Looking into 2021, we stand poised and ready to provide you with additional access to alternative asset class opportunities to reach your next level. By 2025, Yieldstreet’s mission is to help millions of people invest $25B outside the stock market and generate $3B of passive income. The pandemic has exacerbated the very problem Yieldstreet strives  to solve. Due to the inherent volatility of the public equities market (exemplified by the swings experienced during 2020), people require access to income-generating alternative products with less volatility. And institutions are raising billions of dollars for dislocation and distressed strategies. We believe the next two years will present a massive investing opportunity and Yieldstreet is the alternative investment platform you can rely on to offer these diverse opportunities.

From the Yieldstreet family to yours, we wish you health and happiness in the New Year.

As always, we want to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to us at any time at [email protected].

Our products will continue to offer a range of yields and durations, spanning from 3 months to over 5 years.
