This claim is a threat to current investors because future investors can easily claim that they invested in Yieldstreet under false advertising and will lead to destabilizing law suits. We need to force Yieldstreet to correct it by showing them the unquestionable evidence that it is false.
For all of 2024, Yieldstreet advertised the exact same numbers for their IRR and total investor dollars returned—9.6% IRR and $2,373,434,918 in principal and interest—a claim we can disprove with archived evidence. Using the Internet Archive, we captured screenshots from February 2024 through the end of the year, and these figures never changed, even as multiple deals closed.
It is mathematically impossible for the IRR and total returns to remain static when deals are actively closing. At least 10 deals closed during this period, and whether they were profitable or not, they would have impacted these numbers.
While Yieldstreet now blocks the Internet Archive from accessing their site, these screenshots remain preserved and accessible for review.
In December 2024 the Atlanta Multi-Family Equity fund defaulted with 100% loss of the $28.3 million investor capital. No principal or interest was returned to investors.
While Yieldstreet incorrectly reports this as a 0% IRR, the actual IRR for this fund is -100%, reflecting a total loss of principal.
When this loss is factored into Yieldstreet’s overall performance, the advertised IRR drops to approximately 8.29%, even under the best-case assumption of a one-year investment period.
This demonstrates significant inaccuracies in Yieldstreet’s reported performance metrics and raises serious questions about the transparency of their claims.”
Here is the Math
To calculate the adjusted IRR after accounting for the $28.3 million loss, we used the following formula:
