The Investor Portal’s Misleading Account Valuations

The Yieldstreet investor portal presents an account balance that appears authoritative and precise, leading investors to believe it represents their actual portfolio valuation. However, this number is completely disconnected from reality, making it impossible to assess financial standing accurately.

For example, an investor might log in and see their exact account balance displayed as $133,853.48. A figure that specific creates the impression of precision and reliability, suggesting it is an accurate reflection of what their investments are currently worth. But when they examine individual holdings, they quickly realize that this number is based on outdated, misleading, or outright inaccurate valuations.

Distressed Investments Still Listed at Full Value

Imagine this investor allocated $15,000 to a real estate project three years ago. Over time, the project has deteriorated—it has been placed on Yieldstreet’s “watch list”, their ownership percentage has been reduced without notice, and Yieldstreet has even taken out loans against the membership to keep finances running.

Yet, despite these issues, the investor portal still lists the investment as worth $15,000, as if none of these negative events have occurred. There is no indication in the displayed account balance that this investment may be impaired or even worthless.

"Performing" Investments That Ignore Reported Gains

Even for investments that are supposedly performing well, the numbers remain unreliable. Let’s say this investor also put $15,000 into a private equity fund with a seven-year duration. The quarterly reports claim the investment increased by 3% this quarter. However, the investor portal still lists it at exactly $15,000, with no adjustment to reflect these reported gains.

The Result: Investors Are Given an Illusion of Wealth

The core issue is that Yieldstreet presents a highly specific and authoritative account balance that does not reflect reality. Investors looking at their portal assume the figure represents the true value of their holdings—after all, a number like$133,853.48 implies precision. But in reality, it is a fictional valuation based on stale or misleading data.

For investors with dozens of different investments, this distortion means they cannot realistically evaluate their portfolio’s worth. Without transparency, Yieldstreet leaves investors making financial decisions based on numbers that are, at best, misleading—and, at worst, entirely fabricated.
