This Month I have added one more platform called Lofty.Ai .It is an innovative platform that can help you to invest in tokenized real estate assets in the USA
I have also invested in assets on Wint Wealth, Jiraaf, and Klubworks this month.
Structured Lending Investment
| Platform | Returns | NPA |
| Grip Invest | 10-12%(Post-Tax) | 0% |
| Klubworks | 18%+ | 0% |

- Have invested in Zetwerk at 12.9% on Jiraaf
- Invested in the latest Legal Pay Interim Finance deals.4 Payouts on time!

- Received payment for Growpital
- Invested in Tagz on Klubworks
- All my cash flow in Klubworks, WintWealth, Pyse, and GripInvest are as per schedule.
- GripInvest has started Equity Investment on the platform. Considering the minimum size it makes sense for people who can invest across 10-15 deals in a year’s time. Won’t recommend it for people looking to do only 1 Investment
- I have zero exposure to Hedonova now and no plans to Invest in the future as there is negative media coverage with serious allegations

- Have tested Lofty.AI with a small amount.
Equity Market
The equity market is showing a lot of weakness due to inflation-related issues. However, it could be a blessing to buy the dip if the market tumbles. The Repo rate hike is also adding to the woes. The stock market and the interest rates have an inverse relationship. Every time the central bank increases the repo rate, its immediate impact is seen on the stock markets. This means that following the hike in the repo rate prompts companies to also cut back on the spending on the expansion, which leads to a dip in growth and affects the profit and future cash flows, resulting in a fall in stock prices.
- Have added a small quantity of Large-Cap ETF
Crypto Lending Investing
| Platform | Returns | Capital Loss |
| Kucoin | 5-50% | Nil |

- Celsius is offering 40$ for depositing USDT (code 133908fe3e)
- Exploring a few more options to spread platform risk
Crypto Investment
Cryptomarket has been rangebound for a while. I believe anyone investing in crypto should have the patience to bear with months of boring market, bouts of insane volatility, and resistance to FOMO in a bull market.
| Platform | Quarter Return |
| Crypto Hedge Fund Iconomi | 12% |
| Crypto Hedge Fund Ember | – |
| Crypto Hedging Deribit | 4% |
| Bitcoin Trading(Wazirx/Binance/CoinDCX) | 3% |

Upcide(access code RDIMES to get early access)is an asset-based investment platform that lists some great deals however the frequency is much lower than others. Those who are interested in asset leasing will appreciate the quality of assets ( eg Tata EV )
Hi, would you recommend removing money from Hedenova? Had put the same about ~4 months back?
Hi Sakshi,
I will strongly suggest redeeming. I had done the same in Feb(covered in Feb post). Considering the opaque nature of its structure and leadership, and negative media coverage I have again suggested everyoneto redeem in April post!

Hello, first of all great work in covering alternative investments. I want to start investing in products that you have mentioned. Which products would you suggest to start with? Top 3 picks and then I will start investing in remaining ones with time. If you can suggest to start with, will be of great help.
Hi Riken,
Thanks for your comment. The top products depend on each person’s risk appetite and capital deployment plan.
Based on my experience a good starting point could be Jiraaf,Klub and Liquiloans. We can have a small call if you would like to know my experience with them
how about Falcon Invoice Discounting Platfrom
I have tried it a couple of times but I am still not very confident as they do not disclose complete deal details.
