Have you ever thought about investing in Music Royalties?

In this interview Antony Bruno of Royalty Exchange, we discuss just that.

Royalty Exchange is an online auction platform for royalty rights (primarily related to music). Specifics vary, but you're investing in future income streams derived from royalty payments. With returns around 12%, like many other Alts, this could truly be another great uncorrelated investment - people don't stop listening to music when stocks go down. Royalty Exchange is open to non-accredited investors, but you're looking at larger minimum investments (5 or 6 figures).

Enjoy this conversation talking about royalties in general, royalties as investments, and finally about Royalty Exchange in general and the value they're creating.
