Investment type

STREAM

Fixed income: a stated rate, paid on a schedule, for a defined term.

Stream investors lend rather than own. You hold units in a fund that makes short-term real estate loans, and your return is the interest those loans pay — at a stated rate, on a stated schedule, for a defined term.

You do not share in a building’s gain, and you are not carrying a property through construction and lease-up. The return is contractual, and it is capped at the rate.

A stated rate is a contractual rate, not a guaranteed outcome. Stream investments are available only to accredited investors, whose status is verified before any investment is finalized.

Where the return comes from

Interest, and what stands behind it.

Interest, not appreciation

The return is the rate the loans pay, not a share of what a property sells for. Nothing about it depends on an exit, and nothing about it rises if the asset does.

Short by design

Fixed income sits at the short end of the horizon. Capital is committed for a defined term rather than for however long a building takes to stabilize and sell.

Diversified, or not, by series

Some series lend across many borrowers so that no single loan decides the outcome. Others fund a single named borrower under one facility. Which one you are looking at is stated in the documents for that series.

Interest is paid out of borrower performance, and an investor can lose capital. Verify your accredited status →

Current investments

Open investments.

Fixed annual interest is a contractual rate, not a guaranteed outcome, and it is paid out of borrower performance. Each series states its own rate, term, borrower and underwriting limits in its offering documents.

How it is structured

What you hold, and what stands behind it.

What you hold

A claim on the fund

Units in a lending fund. You are a lender to the fund’s borrowers, not an owner of the real estate, and you receive interest rather than a share of a property’s gain or loss in value.

What stands behind it

What is secured, and what is not

The loans the fund makes are written to be secured by real estate. Your units are not. You own a claim on the fund; the fund owns the claim on the property. That gap is the risk you are paid for, and each offering’s documents state what security is actually in place.

Questions

What investors ask.

Is my investment secured?

The loans the fund makes are written to be secured by real estate. The units an investor holds are not. See the offering documents for what security is actually in place for a given series, and note that investing involves risk including the possible loss of capital.

Where does the interest come from?

From borrowers paying their loans. If borrowers do not pay, distributions can be reduced, delayed or stopped.

How long is my capital committed?

For the term of the series you invest in. Fixed income is the shortest of the three types, but it is not liquid: there is no public market for these units and an investor should plan to hold to term. The specific term and any redemption provisions are set out in the documents for each series.

Do Fort + Home affiliates borrow from the fund?

Yes. Some series lend to Fort + Home affiliates, which means the same group can sit on both sides of a loan. That is a structural conflict rather than an incidental one, and there is no assurance such a loan was negotiated or underwritten at arm’s length. The documents for each series identify the borrower and describe the conflict.

How is my investment reported for taxes?

It depends on the investment. Some Stream investments report an investor’s interest on a Form 1099-INT; others report on a Schedule K-1. The documents for each investment state which applies. Nothing on this page is tax advice, and tax treatment depends on an investor’s individual circumstances — consult your own tax advisor.
