With Heron, defaults are rare, most of our loans are first in line for repayment, and with this level of diversification, impact would be minimal.

When you open a private credit portfolio with Heron, you gain exposure to multiple high-quality funds with over 3000 loans. These loans are 95% or more first lien. First lien debt holders are paid back before all other debt holders making the chance of a loss very low. And if one loan does have a loss, your Heron portfolio has over 3000 more loans, providing protection from a high level of diversification. Read our article to learn more about our approach to risk mitigation.

In the unlikely event that Heron goes out of business, your money is safe.

To start, we don't plan to go out of business! We are backed by large institutional investors, generating revenue, and maintaining an ample runway. As any business should, we maintain a continuity plan.

In the highly unlikely event that we did wind down the business, your money is still safe. At a high level, here's what you need to know and how it would wind down:

All LP shares of funds are held in a separate, bankruptcy-remote legal entity from the one that we use to run our day-to-day operations. Second, Heron Finance works with a qualified custodian, Inspira, that custodies said LP shares.
In the event that Heron Finance's operating entity were to shut down, we would submit redemption requests to all of the funds.
Then that separate holding entity and Inspira would work to identify a backup service provider that could manage the redemptions and work to facilitate the return of your capital.

Heron is available to US accredited investors. See what is required to qualify.

Anyone automatically qualifies as an “accredited investor” if they meet just one of the following criteria:

Income: Individual income of $200,000, or joint (with a spouse or partner) income of $300,000 for the two prior years, with the same anticipated in the current year
Net Worth: Individual or combined (with a spouse or partner) net worth of $1 million or greater, excluding your primary residence
Exam: A Series 7, 65, or 82 in good standing

You can verify your status as an accredited investor as a part of our sign-up process. The documents you need will depend on the method of verification. You only need to verify via one of the following:

Income verification: Connect your payroll provider, or upload W-2s, K-1s, 1099s, paystubs, or tax returns to verify your income
Net worth verification: Bank statements, brokerage statements, securities holdings statements, certificates of deposit, tax assessments, or appraisal reports (Note: when you use the net worth verification, we pull a “soft” credit report that will not impact your credit score.)
3rd party letter: A letter from an attorney or accountant testifying that you are accredited

To learn more about how to become accredited, see our article: 4 Easy Steps to Becoming an Accredited Investor.

Any financial forecasts or financial returns, whether in the form of dividend yield or capital appreciation displayed on this website are for illustrative purposes only and are not a guarantee of future results. Private credit investments are subject to credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk. In the event of any default by a borrower, you will bear a risk of loss of principal and accrued interest on such loan, which could have a material adverse effect on your investment. A borrower may default for a variety of reasons, including non-payment of principal or interest, as well as breaches of contractual covenants. Credit risks associated with the investments include (among others): (i) the possibility that earnings of a borrower may be insufficient to meet its debt service obligations; (ii) a borrower's assets declining in value; and (iii) the declining creditworthiness, default, and potential for insolvency of a borrower during periods of rising interest rates and economic downturn.

Any investment target yield presented here is intended for informational purposes only and does not guarantee future performance or results. This model assumes no variability, including no loan defaults, fluctuations in interest rate, customer withdrawal requests, late payments, or penalties, and our management fees have remained unchanged throughout this projection.
