Why TV and Film

The entertainment industry is historically recession resistant and uncorrelated to financial markets and economic cycles. But historically, most investors have only been able to access the industry by either investing in an individual project, which carries high concentration risk, or by investing in public media company securities, which carry market risk.  The key to accessing the uncorrelated returns of the industry is diversified direct investment. NYIS provides access to a menu of selected investment opportunities that allows an investor to diversify among projects and across the capital structure.

New distribution channels and consumer markets for entertainment are opening every day. Today, content is king. Investors want to align with the content creators and rights holders to benefit from new-world monetization strategies, next-generation distribution channels and new methods of consuming entertainment.
