One of the Greatest Investments


Royalty Exchange isn't the only player in this space. Lyric Financial and SongVest are also competitors. Lyric Financial gives artists short-term advances (up to two years) on their royalties in exchange for a fee. SongVest describes themselves as the stock market of music. Through their marketplace, you can buy or sell royalties. Fans can finance albums of their favorite artists through a crowdfunding model, and in return get a share of the future royalties. The money raised through these models allows the artists to create and market their content.


Royalties will always be one of the greatest investments. Other industries, such as oil and gas have opportunities of their own through oil and gas royalty trusts. In fact, many startups and enterprises are funded this way- through royalty deals where the investor gets a percentage of the young company's future revenues.
