Yieldstreet offers retail investors a chance to receive passive income through a variety of alternative investments — opportunities that have traditionally been available only to the ultra-rich.

Through the platform, you can access asset classes that typically have a low correlation to the stock market including luxury vehicle finance, commercial real estate, and even marine finance.

Uniquely, this platform also offers a wide range of investment minimums, so you can find the passive income opportunities that are just right for you.

Case in point: Yieldstreet’s Prism fund lets you build a high-quality, multi-asset fixed-income portfolio with a minimum investment of just $500.

You’ll receive quarterly cash distributions. And, of course, you’ll benefit from any long-term appreciation on top of that.

2. Invest in iconic paintings by world-famous artists

You might think that investing in fine art by the likes of Banksy and Andy Warhol is only an option for the super-wealthy.

But with an investing platform called Masterworks, you can invest in iconic artworks too, just like Jeff Bezos and Peggy Guggenheim.

On average, contemporary artworks appreciate in value by 14% per year, which is significantly higher than the average returns of 9.5% you’d see with the S&P 500.

And investing with Masterworks lets you bypass a lot of the drawbacks of art investing — you won’t need to scour garage sales looking for a lost work by a master, and you won’t have to scramble to find a buyer if you need to sell your shares fast.

Masterworks is the one of the first art investment platforms, and it’s available by invite only.

If you want to own a piece of art history — and take the next step towards your first million — you can request an invitation by clicking this link.

3. Get a free stock worth up to $225

Robinhood makes investing accessible for anyone by charging no fees through its easy-to-use investment app.

You’ll get one full share of a stock worth up to $225 when you sign up for a free account.

Opt for ready-made plans designed to meet your investment goals, or choose individual stocks yourself — you’ll pay zero commissions on trades. The app lets you buy and trade stocks, options, ETFs and even cryptocurrencies, so you’ll have a wide range of investment options no matter what you’re passionate about.

When you sign up, you’ll get a free share of stock chosen at random from the most popular companies on Robinhood such as Pinterest, Etsy or Disney.

Diversify your portfolio by investing in art

When it comes to investing, a diversified portfolio can lead to better returns. Masterworks' art investing platform has turned a previously inaccessible asset class into an actual option for individual investors. Think of artists like Banksy, Monet or Warhol.
