Different asset types and categories can play different roles in a portfolio.
Private markets can provide exposure to operating businesses and real assets that behave differently from public stocks, bonds, and cash. The opportunity depends on the asset, structure, sponsor, and terms of the investment.
Trade private-market assets like real estate and equity 24/7.
Gaia supports peer-to-peer trading for eligible tokenized assets, giving investors the ability to buy and sell directly on the platform beyond traditional market hours. Trading availability depends on the specific asset, applicable restrictions, and whether a counterparty is available.
Private-market trading without market hours
Place buy or sell orders for eligible assets at any time, without being limited to standard exchange hours.
Peer-to-peer trading
Trade directly with other eligible Gaia investors through the platform, subject to offering terms, transfer restrictions, and market demand.
Put your capital behind assets that may produce ongoing cash flow.
Selected operating businesses and income-producing real estate can generate revenue from customers, tenants, and other real economic activity. Certain Gaia opportunities may provide investors with distributions based on the specific terms and performance of the investment.
INCOME-PRODUCING ASSETS
Explore businesses and properties whose underlying operations are designed to generate recurring revenue or cash flow.
CLEAR DISTRIBUTION TERMS
Understand how potential distributions work, when they may occur, what can affect them, and the risks involved before investing.
Participate in long-term value creation before the public markets.
Private companies and real assets can create substantial value while they are still privately owned. Gaia provides access to selected opportunities where investors may participate in that growth before a public listing, major sale, or other potential liquidity event.
PRIVATE COMPANY GROWTH
Gain exposure to businesses with existing operations and opportunities to expand revenue, margins, market share, or enterprise value.
VALUE-CREATION STRATEGIES
Explore investments where management or sponsors have a defined plan for improving the underlying business or asset over time.
Own economic interests tied to businesses, property, and the real economy.
Gaia is built around productive assets rather than speculation alone. Explore opportunities connected to operating companies, real estate, and other real-world assets with identifiable underlying economics.
REAL BUSINESSES
Invest in selected private companies that create products, provide services, employ people, and generate revenue in the real economy.
REAL ESTATE
Access selected property investments without necessarily purchasing and managing an entire property yourself.
Look beyond stocks, bonds, and cash.
Private businesses and real estate introduce different economic exposures than traditional public-market investments. Gaia makes it easier to explore selected private opportunities alongside the rest of your portfolio.
ACCESS BEYOND PUBLIC MARKETS
Explore assets and companies that are not available through traditional stock exchanges or ordinary brokerage accounts.
DIFFERENT SOURCES OF VALUE
Gain exposure to business cash flow, private-company growth, property income, and other investment drivers outside the public markets.
A growing share of economic value exists outside a paycheck or brokerage account.
Inflation can reduce the purchasing power of cash over time. AI and automation may also change how work is performed and how economic value is distributed. Owning productive businesses and real assets gives investors another way to participate in the value created by the economy.
OWN PRODUCTIVE ASSETS
Private businesses and real estate can create revenue, income, and long-term value through actual economic activity.
PARTICIPATE AS AN OWNER
Investment ownership can provide exposure to value creation beyond wages, cash savings, and publicly traded securities.
Private markets offer different opportunities because they also come with different constraints.
Private investments can provide access to businesses and real assets outside public markets, but they also come with different liquidity, information, and risk considerations.
Less Liquidity
Private investments are generally harder to sell than publicly traded stocks. Capital may remain invested for years, and a buyer may not be available when you want to exit.
PLAN FOR THE HOLD
Review expected holding periods, lockups, and transfer restrictions before investing.
More Due Diligence
Private investments often require a closer look at the business or asset, management team, financials, valuation, fees, structure, and offering terms.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU OWN
Review the available information and documents before committing capital.
Investment Risk
Private businesses and real estate can lose value. Business performance, leverage, market conditions, sponsor execution, concentration, and other factors can affect results.
LOSS OF CAPITAL IS POSSIBLE
Understand the risks specific to each opportunity before investing.
