YieldStreet’s technology connects investors to asset-based opportunities presented by best-in-class originators. And, its as easy as buying stocks.
YieldStreet investments are debt based alternative investments. YieldStreet Originators take out a loan for a project or need that is collaterized by an underlying asset the originator has, such as a real estate property or legal settlement.
Our offerings currently concentrate in three primary alternative asset classes; real estate, litigation finance and commercial finance. You can learn more about each of our asset classes on YieldStreet University. YieldStreet seeks investment opportunities that provide investors with low correlation to the broader stock market, and target annual yields between 8-20%.
As originators make principal and interest payments during the term of their loan, distributions are paid out directly to investors in the offering.
All YieldStreet offerings are asset-based, meaning your investment is backed by strong collateral such as vehicles or real estate. This collateral acts like insurance in the rare case a borrower defaults.
Our team does an initial review of the opportunity according to the five criteria set in our Investment Philosophy:
Asset-based with strong collateral
Low market correlation
Established asset managers
Short duration (1-3 years)
Attractive yield (8-20% annual target returns)

2 of my 4 Investments with Yieldstreet are in default.
I am in the same Commercial Real Estate Portfolio as others. I also have a large
investment in a Louisiana Oil & Gas that is in Chapter 11 and it is pretty obvious that some fraud was involved as the LTV could not have been as advertised. The investment stopped paying after only 3 months! Ouch!
I also agree with others that communication and transparency and dealing with the defaults are not what I would hope for. Maybe they will prove me wrong, but as of now I regret the day I ever heard of Yieldstreet.

The underwriting of the RE debt deals is suboptimal. There are cases of RE debt that are clearly fraud. Yieldstreet does not provide accurate information about the deals. Avoid RE offerings in this platform.

I’m in 2 investments. One investment has been in default for several months. Another is a litigation financing which is cash flowing poorly- well below projections. I will not be making any futures investments with YS.

Agreeing with Eric below. By far my favorite too. I am in a few of the litigation portfolios yielding 12-15%. Seems the money chasing the deals is decreasing the yields. Also in a few of their RE deals. I feel like they do a wonderful job of due diligence and have a level of comfort that I don't have with Peer Street, POL & RealtyShares. It feels like you are working with a firm that cares about the deals and their reputation.
I was most impressed with them when I first tried to get on their platform. They would not let me on until they received a financial statement and credit check. They are the only platform that has required that.

By far my favorite crowdfunding platform because the uniqueness of the asset class. Litigation finance is not correlated to the economy, the S&P 500, etc. and that at the end of the day, is what makes it an attractive addition to my portfolio. I'm involved in more than 20 offerings (since about October 2016) and so far so good. I did web searches, etc. like others but the two factors that convinced me to invest were: 1) Michael Weisz's talk w/the students at the Liebowitz Entrepreneur Program (you can watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/alEVTF-wnto) 2) Their page on the deals that they did NOT do: https://www.yieldstreet.com/anti-investments
1) Michael Weisz is extremely bright and savvy, and smart people always figure it out
2) It's quite unique for a platform who would put up a page on deals that did not make it, which shows some good introspection on their part
All in all, quite satisfied with the asset class and the platform. The only comment I would make is that I hope in the future they will feature more offerings that are not from LawCash and also feature some commercial litigation offerings (most of the offerings currently are personal injury related)
Can't change the ratings (I'm using a Chrome browser) from the default 3.5 stars for some reason, but the ratings I would give are:
Diligence: 5
Platform fees: 3.5
Quality of Deals: 5
