Private-market and alternative-investment platforms
Broker Review
Fundrise
The Fundrise platform dates to 2010 and is connected to Ben and Dan Miller. Today it sponsors eREITs and eFunds that give individuals pooled exposure to real estate and private credit, giving it a materially different operating model from a conventional all-purpose broker. Any valuation belongs to the listed company or parent rather than automatically to the product brand. The company is privately held or not separately listed, so no public market capitalization is available.
Strengths
- Sponsors eREITs and eFunds that give individuals pooled exposure to real estate and private credit
Drawbacks
- At Fundrise, investors must evaluate valuation methodology, holding periods, transfer limits and the absence of exchange liquidity
Profile
What you can trade
Nontraded real-estate and private-credit vehicles, eREITs, eFunds and venture-oriented funds; these are not exchange-listed brokerage products.
Account types
Individual taxable and entity accounts; IRA custody and accredited-investor access depend on the offering. The registration structure reflects the fact that the service sponsors eREITs and eFunds that give individuals pooled exposure to real estate and private credit.
Platform
Fundrise provides web and mobile account access; desktop software, APIs and third-party integrations are available only where specifically supported. The resulting workflow is tailored to a business that sponsors eREITs and eFunds that give individuals pooled exposure to real estate and private credit.
Who it suits
Best suited to Fundrise customers whose principal requirement is the capability described in this profile, rather than investors choosing a broker only because of a zero-commission headline.
Where it is offered
Each Fundrise offering establishes its own eligible states and investor standard. Some deals accept non-accredited U.S. investors, while others are restricted to accredited persons or entities and remain unavailable where qualification is incomplete.
