Introduction

Building investments with Silo means more than just buying bonds—it's about creating a portfolio that benefits from built-in boosts, clear structure, and transparency. This guide helps you understand how your investment journey works on the platform, what you can invest in, and how to monitor and manage your holdings effectively.

1. What You Can Invest In

On Silo, your investment options include:

• U.S. Treasury securities (bills, notes, bonds) of varying maturities.
  
  
• Corporate bonds, both investment-grade and high-yield.
  
  
• Other fixed income instruments, depending on your risk profile and goals.
  
  

Everything is held through a trusted custodian and designed to fit your investment timeline.

2. The 1% Annual Boost

One of Silo’s distinguishing features is the 1% annual boost added to your eligible investments. Instead of traditional AUM fees, Silo shares value back to you—giving your portfolio an extra tailwind. The boost is applied under the terms of the program (check your eligibility and balance caps for full details).

3. How Your Investments Are Held & Managed

Your assets remain invested—not held in separate “cash-only” accounts. They’re custodied by a major brokerage, meaning:

• You retain ownership of the underlying securities.
  
  
• Trading, settlement, and record-keeping follow standard brokerage protocols.
  
  
• Your portfolio remains transparent and accessible—no surprise hurdles between you and your holdings.
  

4. Monitoring Your Portfolio & Boosts

In the platform dashboard you can:

• View your total portfolio value and asset breakdown.
  
  
• Track your “boost earnings” over time for eligible balances.
  
  
• See details of each bond position: issuer, maturity, interest, and market status.
  
  
• Access history of transactions, statements, and tax documents as needed.
  

Staying informed helps you adjust, reinvest, or shift strategy when needed

Conclusion

Investing on Silo blends the familiar—bonds, securities, and market access—with a fresh design: ownership, transparency, and a built-in boost. With your assets securely held and your dashboard showing clear figures, you can focus on long-term growth rather than hidden fees or opaque structures. Review your portfolio periodically, understand how the boost applies, and you’ll be well positioned to make your money work for you.
