How do I know Steadfast Equity is a legitimate company?

We don’t ask you to take our word for it. We provide independently verifiable facts—not marketing fluff.

Here are a few ways to assess operational history and credibility using publicly accessible data:

#1. Domain Tenure – Not a Badge, But a Baseline Check

• Our domain, SteadfastEquity.com, has been active for over 20 years.
• You can independently confirm this via Verisign-managed Whois records, which log original domain registrations and cannot be altered retroactively.
• This doesn’t prove legitimacy on its own—but it refutes the common misconception that we're a disposable, short-term firm or a fly-by-night operation.
• Cheap imitators don’t operate under premium, exact-match domains with multi-decade continuity—they exploit churn, anonymity, and short-lived shells.

We cite domain age not because it’s impressive, but because it's a neutral, objective fact that directly answers a common investor question: “How long have you been around?”

#2. Regulatory Filings – Verified Oversight, Not Just Claims

• Steadfast Equity has a registered CIK (Central Index Key) and files under applicable exemptions in the SEC’s EDGAR system.
• EDGAR is the official U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure database—it cannot be edited or gamed.
• You can confirm our filings here: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0002063102
• Unlike most unregulated operators, we choose to place our statements under legal accountability—even when we’re not required to by law.
• This means our statements, including those in our Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), carry legal accountability, ensuring accuracy.

Why should I feel confident investing with Steadfast Equity?

We focus on real, measurable credibility rather than marketing gimmicks. Our long-standing history, regulatory filings, and commitment to legal accountability set us apart from firms that rely on style over substance.

What protections do I have as an investor?

Because we file with the SEC, all our statements are made under legal accountability. Our PPM and investor documents must meet strict compliance standards.

How can I independently verify your credibility?

Here’s what you can do:
• Check our domain age (Use Whois lookup for "SteadfastEquity.com"; records maintained by Verisign, which manages key global internet infrastructure)
• Verify our SEC filings (Search our CIK number on the SEC’s EDGAR database, an official U.S. government system that ensures regulatory transparency)

What will the funds be used for?

Asking what the funds will be used for misunderstands how professional finance works. Because we operate with integrity and legal accountability, we do not make rigid statements that would restrict our ability to adapt to market conditions. A successful company must maintain flexibility to seize opportunities and navigate changing environments.

What is your investment strategy?

As a private holding company with a deep understanding of financial markets, we deploy capital based on a dynamic strategy informed by real-time market data, risk management, and years of expertise. Disclosing specific strategies publicly would not only give competitors an advantage but could also reduce the effectiveness of our approach.

Why are your returns so high compared to what’s available to the average investor?

We invest in private credit and real assets through proprietary channels that we’ve developed over decades. Our reputation grants us access to high-yield opportunities that are unavailable to the general public.
From an economic perspective, while we cannot disclose specific details for competitive reasons, we can highlight key industry fundamentals. Currently, we have exposure through complex financial products tied to the AI sector, which is experiencing unprecedented wealth creation. The AI industry alone is projected to grow at a CAGR of 35.9% from 2025 to 2030. Because we select only the top percentile of opportunities in this rapidly expanding space, our returns remain consistently strong.
Additionally, we take on the investment risk because we also capture the upside—after bondholders receive their fixed payments, we retain the remaining profits, which, if we’re being honest, are significant. This alignment ensures that we prioritize strong investment performance.

What is your track record of returns?

This question is often misunderstood in the context of bond investing. As a bondholder, your returns are not dependent on company performance—they are contractually defined. You receive fixed interest payments and principal repayment, regardless of market conditions. Your primary concern should be credit risk, which is why our strong financial position is the key factor to consider.

What is your payment history?

We have maintained a 100% on-time payment history for our entire existence. Because we are a recognized firm with a long-standing history, you can be confident in this assertion. While independent verification of individual payments is not feasible due to privacy laws, the fact that we have been in business for so long with a clean record and no regulatory issues is a strong indicator of reliability.

Why is Steadfast Equity incorporated offshore?

We utilize an offshore incorporation structure as a completely legal and widely used tax optimization strategy. Many of the world’s largest companies—including Apple, Facebook, and Google—use similar structures to legally reduce tax burdens. By compounding returns tax-free, we maximize growth potential and generate significantly higher returns over time. When taxes take a portion of gains every year, long-term compounding is severely hindered. Our approach allows us to reinvest earnings at full value, leading to substantially better outcomes for investors.

How do I assess the security of my investment?

The primary question in bond investing is whether the issuer has the financial strength to meet its obligations. Steadfast Equity has over $800 million in assets and less than $200 million in liabilities, meaning we maintain a strong asset-to-debt ratio. This is the fundamental measure of our ability to fulfill our obligations to bondholders.

What if I’m not an accredited investor? Can I still invest?

Yes. While our policy is to prioritize offerings that are limited to accredited investors—because these are typically the highest quality assets legally available—we also maintain a range of other investment options for non-accredited investors.
If you don’t meet the accredited investor criteria, we’ll match you with the closest possible alternative to the asset you were intending to purchase. Even if it’s technically a different structure or classification, we’ll select the next best match based on your original interest, within the bounds of what is legally permitted.
We do not provide a public menu of non-accredited offerings because (a) It is our policy to prioritize accredited bond offerings wherever possible, and (b) our non-accredited offerings are typically whole-asset transactions—not pooled or fractionalized—available in limited quantity and subject to availability. Each is unique and reviewed with you only once eligibility is confirmed and a potential purchase contract has been identified. Once a purchase contract is ready, we’ll provide full details for your review before you proceed.

Can I invest with my 401(k), 403(b) or 457 retirement account?

Yes. The IRS allows you to perform a "Direct Rollover" into a Self-Directed IRA, which has lower feed and identical tax advantages. Steadfast bonds can be bought through any of the top Self-Directed IRA providers, such as:
• The Entrust Group - 40 years in business
• Equity Trust - 50 years history
• IRA Financial - $5B in assets
• Rocket Dollar - Fast growing provider
• Strata Trust - Owned by a regulated bank
• Madison Trust - $4.8B in AUM
• American IRA - Low cost provider
• Provident Trust Group - $12B assets under management
• uDirect IRA - Another low cost provider
• IRAR Trust Company - Proven low cost provider
• Directed IRA - $2B AUM
To begin, select your preferred provider and open an SDIRA (self directed IRA) account. They will assist you in performing a Direct Rollover from your existing 401k, 403b or 457 provider. You may also reach out to any Steadfast rep for a direct referral to a reputable IRA provider for priority service.

How do I conduct smart due diligence?

Many investors struggle with what to look for when assessing an opportunity. The key is not just seeking numbers but verifying credibility first.

• Instead of chasing after specific documents, the smarter approach is to check verifiable facts—history, regulatory filings, and transparency.
• If an investment opportunity is legitimate, it will stand up to scrutiny through these objective markers.

Why do you move so quickly?

Because Not All Opportunities Wait. When capital sits idle, returns decay. That’s why our model is built for decisive deployment—not indefinite evaluation.

Steadfast Equity operates with a capital discipline framework.
Our bond offerings are designed to align directly with underlying investment opportunities—not held in limbo or sitting idle. This sharp pairing is what enables us to offer high-yield returns, unlike traditional banks or mutual funds that operate under slower, more diluted structures.

We move quickly because the opportunity demands it.
Capital must be committed and deployed with precision. If you’re evaluating multiple timelines or options, we’re happy to discuss fit — but our model is designed for decisive, strategy-aligned commitments.

Why are compounded returns meaningfully higher than monthly interest payments over time?

Because compound interest doesn’t just pay—it multiplies. Over longer durations, the effect becomes structurally significant.

When investors opt for monthly interest payments, the capital is distributed as cash flow. That serves income needs but halts the reinvestment cycle. Compounded structures, on the other hand, retain and reinvest each interest credit, which in turn generates its own yield. The result is exponential growth driven by reinvestment velocity—not just base rate.

To illustrate:
• A $100,000 investment at 15% annual return, paid monthly, yields $150,000 over 10 years, plus return of principal—$250,000 total.
• The same capital compounded annually at 15% grows to $404,555.77 in 10 years—a 62% increase in total return.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s math—and time. The longer the reinvestment horizon, the more pronounced the divergence becomes.

For investors focused on maximizing long-term capital efficiency, compounded returns consistently outperform. Income-based structures serve liquidity needs. Compounding serves wealth creation.

I saw negative comments about Steadfast Equity on Reddit. What’s your response?

We’re aware of a few Reddit threads that raise concerns or speculate about our firm. While we respect open discourse, most of these posts are either misinformed, made without any direct knowledge of our operations, or are simply hostile toward alternative investments in general.

We're restricted from engaging in anonymous forums with anonymous accounts. We’re focused on running a real business with real accountability—not arguing with usernames.

We attempted to post an official reply, under our official account, unfortunately it was incorrectly flagged as "spam" and reddit refuses to rectify the situation. This has unfortunately necessitated legal action by our team, currently underway.

That said, we believe in transparency. So we’ve published a detailed response outlining our structure, regulatory compliance, and addressed each point thoroughly. You can read it here, or visit the link on our blog:

Steadfast Equity is built on accountability, performance, and long-term trust. That’s where we choose to focus.

Why don’t I see my principal bonus or yield enhancement listed in the initial paperwork?

Principal bonuses and yield enhancements are processed after your signed paperwork is received and your account is formally created. These enhancements are applied directly to your investment account—not the base agreement—because they are promotional or situational adjustments made on a per-investor basis.

Every investor at Steadfast Equity is assigned a dedicated representative who monitors your account and confirms that all entitled credits, bonuses, or enhancements are accurately applied.

If for any reason you do not see a credit reflected, you are still fully entitled to it. Simply contact our team directly at 646-585-1241, and we’ll ensure the matter is addressed promptly.

Your trust and capital deserve precision—and that’s what we deliver.

Can I start small and add more to my investment over time?

Yes. You can begin with a minimum investment of $50,000. That said, many investors choose to start at $200,000 or more to access our DualYield bonds, principal bonuses, and yield enhancements, which are available during the 7-day onboarding window and begin at the $200K threshold.

As an existing investor, you’re free to scale your position over time—additional contributions can be made in increments as low as $10,000.

We’ve designed our platform to be both accessible and scalable, so you can grow your exposure in line with your conviction.

Why does Steadfast use a newly formed entity for the bond offering?

It’s standard practice in structured finance to create a new, standalone entity for each offering. This isolates risk, ensures clean accounting, and protects investors by clearly defining the legal boundaries of the offering. Our operating firm has a multi-decade track record, and we structure offerings with institutional discipline. Creating a new entity isn’t unusual—it’s prudent.

What does it mean that you’re “Reg D Exempt” but still regulated by the SEC?

Under Regulation D Rule 506(c), private offerings are exempt from registration but still subject to SEC regulation. We file a Form D with the SEC, appoint them as our legal service agent, and operate under their jurisdiction. This is the same framework used by leading private equity and venture firms. “Exempt” doesn’t mean unregulated—it means we’re operating within a defined, legal exemption created by the SEC itself.

Are your returns realistic? Why are they higher than public market bonds?

Our yields reflect the nature of private credit, not public securities. We don’t invest in government debt or passive funds—we deploy capital into high-yield, asset-backed opportunities like royalties, secured advances, and structured receivables. These are areas banks and funds often can’t access due to regulatory constraints. Higher yields are a function of access, expertise, and capital efficiency—not a red flag.

Why don’t you publicly list every asset you invest in?

Disclosing our investment targets publicly would undermine our competitive edge. Like any professional allocator or hedge fund, we protect our strategies to preserve alpha. Bondholders are not exposed to individual asset risk—they’re entitled to fixed payments. Your exposure is to our balance sheet, not to a specific property or company. Transparency is important—but so is protecting investor value.

Why does your team operate internationally—and what does CFC mean?

We operate internationally to legally optimize tax efficiency and preserve more of each dollar we earn—maximizing net returns for investors.

Here’s how the structure works:

• The absence of Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) laws in our jurisdiction enables us to implement mind-and-management carve-outs, allowing international operations to maintain legal separation from U.S. tax exposure. This is the foundation of why global firms like Apple, Google, and others use similar jurisdictions.

• In addition, our operating entity holds a government-issued Freeport Zone Certificate, which provides the local corporate entity with a full exemption from standard national taxes. This certificate is rare and only granted under strict qualification guidelines. It means the company itself is not subject to the usual local corporate tax rates.

Together, these components allow us to reinvest capital at full value without artificial friction—legally and transparently. We pass these structural efficiencies through to our investors in the form of higher yields and cleaner reinvestment mechanics.

We don’t operate offshore to hide. We do it to optimize—and we do so with full legal compliance. Our leadership team maintains U.S. connections, our offerings are filed under SEC Regulation D, and our reporting obligations remain intact.
