The UHNW Dilemma—High Yields vs. Capital Risk

Private lending can offer attractive returns—often 7-9%—but your capital is typically at risk, either as collateral or directly invested. For UHNW allocators, this trade-off is unacceptable. ​YieldShield Debt changes the game: your capital is held in escrow by your attorney, ensuring it’s never touched by the borrower, while you earn a minimum 18% yields.

​Imagine allocating €5M to a private debt deal. In a traditional setup, your funds might be at risk if the borrower defaults. With YieldShield Debt, that €5M sits safely in escrow, earning €75K/month, risk-free.

Escrow's Role in Risk Mitigation

• Risk 1: Capital Depletion: In many private lending deals, your capital is used directly, exposing it to loss. YieldShield Debt’s escrow ensures your funds are never depleted—they’re not collateralized in any way and are held securely by your attorney.

​

• Risk 2: Borrower Default: If a borrower defaults, your capital could be tied up or lost. With YieldShield Debt, you can withdraw your funds from escrow immediately upon default, protecting your principal.

​​

• Risk 3: Lack of Control: Traditional deals often give the borrower control over your funds. YieldShield Debt puts you in control—your attorney manages the escrow, ensuring your escrow terms are fully enforced.

For a family office managing €50M, losing even 1% of capital (€500K) to a bad deal is still a significant hit. YieldShield Debt’s escrow backed structure eliminates this risk, delivering €841.6K/month at 20% yield on €50,500,000 (€50M+1%), where your capital is secured in escrow, and in your control.

What 18% Yields Mean for Your Portfolio

​​

• Portfolio Growth: An 18% yield on a €1M allocation generates €180K annually—outpacing traditional investments like bonds (3%) or real estate (6%). For larger allocations, the impact is even greater: €10M yields €1.9M/year at 19%.

​

• Cash Flow: Monthly interest payments provide steady cash flow, ideal for UHNW allocators seeking liquidity without sacrificing security. A €3M allocation, for example, delivers €45K/month.

​​

• Diversification: YieldShield Debt’s escrow-backed structure offers low correlation to public markets, diversifying your portfolio while delivering outsized returns.

Typical UHNW Allocations to Alternative Investments

A Real-World Scenario—Securing Your Allocation

A US family office with $13.5M in cash seeks high yields without risk. They allocate the USD equivalent of €12M EUR plus 1% (approx. $13,105,040 at time of writing) to YieldShield Debt, where it’s held unencumbered in escrow by their attorney. Over 12 months, they earn €2,489,957 at 19% yield, with monthly payments of €207,496 (or USD equivalent) wired directly to their account—all while their capital remains secure.​ The family office maintains full control, knowing their funds are not collateralized and remain protected, even in a worst-case scenario like borrower default. 

For UHNW allocators, this combination of security and high returns is a strategic move—preserving wealth while generating significant income.
