Issuer-reported results since inception. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Individual results may vary.
Stocks
Share prices chase stories; royalties follow listening. Crescendo owns catalogues of proven music rights. When songs are streamed, broadcast, performed or licensed, cash is collected through global networks and passed through to investors. With no financing debt at the fund level, results are less exposed to interest-rate moves and lender covenants.
Mutual Funds
Rather than a mixed basket, this is a single income engine built on curated catalogues and disciplined acquisition multiples. Collections are tracked by plays, rates, territories and formats, which keeps the mechanism and reporting straightforward. The fund carries no financing debt, so outcomes reflect catalogue performance rather than borrowed money.
GICs & Cash
Deposits are certain but static and fully taxed each year. Royalty income can grow with audience size, platform adoption and new sync placements in film, television and games. Distributions are supported by cash collections, not leverage, which reduces sensitivity to rates.
Real Estate
Property depends on tenants and cap rates; music depends on how often people use it. Crescendo holds rights to thousands of works across geographies and formats, creating a return pattern tied to cultural usage. With no debt at the fund level, there is no refinancing or covenant risk that can pressure property vehicles during tight credit cycles.
- Investors who want income that does not depend on stock or bond market cycles.
- Clients interested in diversification where cash flows come from music and media royalties.
- Registered accounts can turn idle balances into recurring royalty income linked to global consumption.
