How's this company not been investigated by the SEC? This is by far the worst investment I ever did, put your hard earned money somewhere else.

it seems you cannot withdraw your money, .... ever! (claim to have problems with third party processing withdrawals are likely bogus, they don't seem to be getting solved)

Have made multiple investments in yield street all of which are in default or going to go to default soon. While investing is inherently risky and I expect one or two to go down but the fact that all of them are not performing and going to zero, is really hard to digest. Case of gross incompetence, misleading advertising and/or fraud. Writing my experience so others can take a more informed decision.

This site offers several investments as an alternative to publicly traded stocks / investments; however, the fees are high, liquidity low and there is a high probability of losing principle in most investments, and the dividends are far below the advertised amount (something advertised as paying 11-12% dividends after fees ends up being no more than 1-2% if any). I do not recommend this site to anyone. Fortunately I only invested in 5 funds and so my losses were limited.

Careful they have changed their name to "Willow Wealth" as of October 2025. Same MO however! I am convinced now this is a Ponzi scheme. Last minute changes before maturity in investment status to "watch" or "default". VERY difficult to get your money back from them. Misleading investments. They have already paid some hefty fines to the SEC for misleading investors. They are being investigated by the FBI and several state attorney generals. Do not invest here you were warned. Look up Yieldstreet lawsuit.

Selling properties at a loss to pay themselves back their 'management fees' while holding back distributing investor capital back. They extended their loan dates so they are not in default when they are and have no plans to return capital to investors.

No sign up bonus. Year or so ago there was a deal being offered to give people $200 just for signing up for an account and becoming verified. So I signed up and never got my bonus. Not sure if there was a requirement to deposit $100 but somehow I have that much in my account. Only way I know is bc they sent an email telling me it was being transferred to my bank of record. But all withdrawals are frozen right now.

YS made a terrible job vetting real estate deals that were heavy-loaded on variable-rate mortgages before the rates went up. They are all in default now with people losing their money. I guess Yieldstreet was expecting rates to go negative or something. The percentage of deals bankruptcy on YS shows the company is fraudulent or incompetent.
