CRESCENDO MUSIC

ROYALTY FUND

Investing in music royalties as an alternative investment can bring income, growth and diversification to a portfolio.


When third parties use their works, music royalties are generated for songwriters and recording artists. This includes digital music streaming, radio, synchronization to video (such as television or films), live performance and any other time music is played. Two copyrights come from the creation of music. The first is for the writing and composition of the song (publishing), and the second is for the actual sound recording (the master).

Royalty income is earned by these copyrights every time a song is played. The owners of these income streams can be the original songwriters, recording artists, record labels, music publishers and producers. An investment fund like ours can also acquire these royalty streams.

Objectives

Income

A main goal of the fund is to capture reliable, recurring streaming revenue. Audio streaming subscriptions have proven resilient and show demonstrable growth. Consumers treat their monthly music subscriptions as a consumer staple, akin to a utility bill, rather than a discretionary expense.

Growth

We also look for high capital appreciation potential. Streaming and music consumption have been growing around the world. Additional platforms that license music have entered our lives over recent years and continue expanding, including short-form user-generated video (TikTok), gaming (Roblox), and fitness platforms (Peloton).

Diversification

We all have an emotional connection with music. People consume music in both good and bad markets. Our goal is to help our investors diversify in a sector that has a low correlation to equity markets and is relatively impervious to the ups and downs of the economy.
