Yieldstreet has used Short Term Notes and other warehouse facilities and credit lines to fund more than $1.4B in investments on our platform. As of January 2021, we have launched 22 series of Short Term Notes, with 11 series paid in full and the remaining series currently performing as expected.
Short Term Notes carry the risk that an investment opportunity financed by Short Term Notes could default before it becomes fully subscribed. In such a scenario, Yieldstreet would work to recover the cash invested in the underlying investment. As with other investment opportunities, some investments that are financed via Short Term Notes may have senior lenders who would receive first payment in case of default.
However, to help protect Short Term Note investors, Yieldstreet generally holds a percentage of the notes issued in each series in a first loss position. This product is not offered by a bank and as such it is not FDIC insured.
