Goldfinch Prime is an investment opportunity that offers non-US investors exposure to private credit, which has long been an attractive asset class for institutions and high net-worth individuals (“HNWI”). Goldfinch Prime is expanding access to private credit by making high quality, and diversified private credit available onchain

Goldfinch Prime offers a custom exposure to institutional private credit funds onchain. It is a single portfolio consisting over 1000 assets from multiple private credit managers.

Specifically, you will own contingent payment notes issued by Heron entities ("the Manager") that are backed by equity interests in third-party, institutional private credit funds.

Through your Goldfinch Prime Private Credit portfolio, your exposure is thousands of loans in funds overseen by leading private credit managers. These funds are called Business Development Corporation (BDCs), for example the Ares Strategic Income Fund. While there are fully public BDC’s, Heron typically invests in the “non-traded” or “private” variations, which are not available on mainstream brokerages, giving you access to income typically reserved for institutions. Moreover, these non-traded ones far less volatile than typical public funds.

Each month or quarter, Heron receives a cash dividend from the BDCs and pays out income based on your portfolio’s exposure to the underlying loans.

Private credit is considered an alternative asset class, along with real estate investments, private equity, hedge funds, commodities like gold and silver, infrastructure, collectibles, and digital assets. The recommended allocation to alternative assets in a financial portfolio can vary depending on your goals, risk tolerance, investment horizon, and overall financial situation. Factors to Consider:

• Risk Tolerance: Investors with a higher risk tolerance may allocate more to alternative assets, while those with lower risk tolerance should allocate less.

• Investment Horizon: Longer investment horizons can justify higher allocations to alternatives, as these assets often require patience to realize their full potential.

• Liquidity Needs: Typically investors with immediate liquidity needs should limit their exposure to illiquid alternative assets. We aim to fulfill redemption requests on a quarterly, best-effort basis and we don’t have a lockup period which is common for other private credit investments.

• Diversification: For many investors, one goal of adding alternative assets is to diversify their portfolio and reduce overall risk. Investors may adjust their allocation to alternatives to complement other asset classes in their portfolio.

Example Allocations To get a sense of the range you might consider allocating to alternatives, institutional investors like pension funds, hedge funds, and asset managers allocate 3-30% of their investments to private credit. A conservative approach might be on the low end of that range, and an aggressive approach might be on the high end. Here are some examples:

• Conservative: 5% to 10% in alternatives.

• Moderate: 10% to 20% in alternatives.

• Aggressive: 20% to 40% in alternatives.

It’s important to note that these are general guidelines and individual circumstances will vary. Investors should consult with a financial advisor to determine the most appropriate allocation to alternative assets based on their specific financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance.

0.5% annual management fee to the Manager (which is taken prior to distributing interest onchain), and 0.5% withdrawal fee to the Goldfinch Protocol, which happens onchain at the same time that you withdrawal funds.

There are no additional hidden fees or expenses outside of these fees.

The yield and distributions shown in your portfolio is net of fees, so this is the amount remaining after fees have been deducted.

No lockup period.

Unlike most private credit funds, Goldfinch Prime doesn’t require a multi-year lockup. There are no lockup periods, which means clients may request redemption at any time on a quarterly basis. There are also zero penalties or fees for redemption.

Our goal is to process all withdrawal requests within one quarter, subject to available liquidity. It is important to note that we cannot guarantee redemption within the quarter. There may be instances where one of the funds that Heron provides exposure to suspends redemption during a given quarter, delaying a withdrawal. We aim to provide efficient processing of redemption requests, and if we anticipate a delay in fulfilling a request beyond one quarter, we will proactively notify our clients.
