How You’re Taxed
Yieldstreet’s private market investments can be subject to both capital gains and income tax, with the exact rate depending on the taxpayer's country of residence, personal income tax bracket and whether or not the investment is held in a tax-advantaged account.
Investors are not expected to trigger a taxable event until one of their investments is sold. Yieldstreet investments do, however, trigger a taxable event as soon as they generate dividends.
Investments held for longer than a year benefit from long-term capital gains tax—taxed at a much lower rate than ordinary income.
Federal, state and local taxes also affect the total tax burden associated with the investment. For more clarity, consult with an advisor before making an investment.

Works great so far, but I've really only transferred some money into our savings account at this point. Hopefully the rest of the app is just as well designed and as easy to use...
