Absolutely. Craft provides periodic updates on the value of your Pod investment, so you’re not left in the dark for five years. We know it’s important for you to track how your investment is performing. Here’s how it works:
Quarterly or annual statements: We issue regular reports (at least annually, and typically quarterly) showing the valuation of the Pod’s assets and your share. This includes updates on the market value of any securities in the portfolio and appraised values of the aircraft and other assets. You’ll be able to see if the overall portfolio has grown, stayed flat, or changed, and by extension, get an estimate of your investment’s current value.
Online dashboard: In addition, Craft is developing an investor portal where you can log in to view your account. Through the portal, you’ll see information like your capital account balance, any changes due to gains/losses, and possibly even real-time metrics for publicly traded assets contributed. (Aircraft values won’t change day-to-day, but we periodically update those based on market appraisals.)
The key point is that you won’t have to wait five years to know how you’re doing. We believe in transparency. Just like you’d check a brokerage or retirement account, you can keep an eye on your Craft Pod investment. Do keep in mind that valuations of private assets (like aircraft) are estimates – they’re based on best available data and periodic appraisals. But combined with market prices for any public securities in the Pod, you’ll have a solid sense of value. If you ever have questions about your valuation or how it’s calculated, our team is happy to walk you through it.
