When music is listened to, royalties are split among rights holders — writers, producers, labels, engineers, and more.
Who owns royalties?

Over time, music consumption begins to stabilize. The songs that hold steady are often deemed “evergreen” — generating reliable royalty income, much like dividends from stocks.
Where is the value?

Collections of these assets (catalogs), continue generating royalties for decades becoming valuable, income-producing assets. Investors purchase the catalogs from the initial rights holders.
What is investing in royalties?
Music catalogs have become one of the most attractive alternative investments today.
Royalties offer predictable income with a low correlation to stock market volatility, inflation-resistant returns, and insulation from recessions, making them an attractive asset class for investors seeking diversification.
Goldman Sachs forecasts that global music revenues will nearly double. Despite recent economic challenges, the industry remains resilient, with structural shifts paving the way for sustained growth and new monetization avenues.
Your royalties are
worth more than you think.
Selling royalties can serve estate planning, liquidity, or diversification goals — and in many cases, create compounding benefits by reinvesting elsewhere. Whether you’re a producer, songwriter, engineer, or band member, we can help you understand the value of your work, connect with trusted buyers, and make strategic decisions about your royalties.
