Yieldstreet is a digital marketplace for alternative investments, connecting individual investors with curated private-credit, real-estate, litigation and art-backed opportunities. The New York–based platform emphasizes deal selection and asset-backed structures to provide income and portfolio diversification beyond public markets.
Why Yieldstreet
Top reasons investors choose Yieldstreet
Real-estate and credit opportunities
Yieldstreet lists asset-backed real-estate loans and private-credit notes that fund commercial and residential projects. Offerings often take the form of short- to medium-term loans or structured notes secured by property or receivables, with periodic distributions. Investors should anticipate limited liquidity and review offering materials for collateral details, advance rates and waterfall structures before committing capital.
Litigation, art and specialty finance
Yieldstreet expands beyond property lending into litigation finance, art-backed loans and marine or specialty asset deals. These investments are typically secured by a claim, artwork or vessel, and returns derive from successful resolution or sale. Expect higher complexity: legal timelines, appraisal processes and bespoke documentation require careful due diligence and patience for capital return.
