About Fundrise

Fundrise offers access to sophisticated private market strategies focused on generating consistent income and long-term growth across real estate private equity, venture capital, and private credit.Real estate — Fundrise is one of the 50 largest real estate private equity investors in the world by total annual deployment — deploying more than $1 billion of capital annually in 2021 and 2022. Our portfolio is largely composed of 20,000+ well-located residential units and eCommerce-centric industrial assets.Venture — Investing in high-growth private technology companies has proven to be one of the best-performing strategies of the last 50 years. Our growth equity fund targets mid-to-late-stage companies in sectors like Modern Data Infrastructure, FinTech, and AI/ML.Private credit — Skyrocketing interest rates have created broad credit market dislocations and a potential liquidity crisis. The result is arguably the most attractive, risk-adjusted private credit investing opportunity of the last few decades.Building a better financial systemWhen our co-founders launched Fundrise back in 2012, our mission was to use technology to build a better financial system for investors like you. A lot has changed since then. Over 2 million people now use Fundrise and we manage nearly $3 billion in equity across real estate, private credit, and venture capital. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. But our mission remains the same. It’s what drives us to continue eliminating barriers, developing new investments, and working tirelessly to make this the best investing experience you’ve ever had. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Disappointed with Fundrise - High Fees and Minimal Returns

Disappointed with Fundrise - High Fees and Minimal Returns I started investing with Fundrise around 18 months ago, contributing a total of $3,700. Since October 2023, I haven’t made any additional contributions, yet my account value is only $3,767, meaning my investment has grown by a mere $67 over this period. One of the biggest disappointments has been the fees. For example, in my recent Q3 2024 dividend breakdown, significant advisory fees were deducted from each fund, leaving a small net return. Fundrise’s fee structure seems disproportionately high compared to the returns, making it hard to justify staying with the platform. My contributions currently show as $3,491 due to fees—this erosion of value over time is concerning. Compared to other real estate investment options, Fundrise has been underwhelming. Other platforms or REITs might offer similar or better returns without the hefty fees that eat into profits. I had higher expectations for growth and transparency, but so far, the experience feels like I’m paying Fundrise more in fees than I’m earning in actual investment returns. If you’re considering Fundrise, be aware of the fees and consider if the limited returns are worth the investment. I’ll be exploring other real estate investment options that offer more transparency, liquidity, and actual growth.

Response from FundriseNov 18, 2024

Thanks for taking the time to write a thoughtful review, Munira. You're right that we typically charge an advisory fee. Our advisory fees are 0.15%. By way of comparison, Vanguard's advisory fee is 0.30% (if you have less than $5 million with them). You may have already had a chance to review this, but our most recent investor letter adds context to our overall performance so far in 2024. I highly recommend reading if you want to learn more about what to expect moving forward, returns wise: https://fundrise.com/education/q3-2024-letter From that same letter: "We stated at the beginning of the year that we believed real estate values had largely bottomed and accordingly we’ve seen values recovering in nearly every asset type through the first three quarters. We believe now that real estate, especially residential and industrial real estate, is poised for an extended recovery that is likely to manifest in a relatively long run of increasing property values." Most importantly, though, Fundrise is intended to be a long-term investment (5+ year holds). We are probably not a good option for investors only looking to hold for 12 months at a time.
