Music and Film

Owning song rights entitles you to royalties which are paid out each time the song is played or reproduced.

Top investors buy directly from record companies, but with platforms like Royalty Exchange, SongVest, and Royal.io everyday investors can bid for the rights to songs & catalogs. Returns come from royalty payments as well as future appreciation. 

Movies and broadway provide investment opportunities as well.

We research and write about these topics from time to time. Follow if you’re interested

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

Alts is the only email newsletter I've read from start to finish from day one. The effort that Stefan & Wyatt provide is the next-level analysis you've been waiting for. They break down each asset in detail, metric by metric, and serve it up in a brief email with graphics and links.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
