ICM Crescendo Music Royalty Fund

Why invest?

The ICM Crescendo Music Royalty Fund provides exposure to a high-growth, uncorrelated asset class: music royalties. This can reduce overall portfolio volatility and enhance diversification.

Royalties last for life of artist + 70 years
Streaming is now viewed as a utility by consumers
Low operating costs, high-margin cash flows
Predetermined and regulated royalty rates
Demand and streaming volume are rising globally

“Every time one of our songs is played, streamed, or performed, our investors get paid. That’s the power of owning music.”

Key Performance highlights

The Fund has demonstrated strong, consistent returns over multiple years, driven by the resilience of royalty income and disciplined portfolio management. The fund has produced positive performance even during periods of market volatility.

Distributions are paid quarterly and may be reinvested via a DRIP program.
Revenue streams are diversified across time, artist, genre, and geography, reducing exposure to single-source risk.
Historical returns are uncorrelated to equity markets, offering investors portfolio diversification and stability.
