Description
This is your opportunity to own a catalog of production music with a royalty stream that has had annual growth since 2013. This auction is for 40% of the songwriter's public performance royalties generated by a catalog of over 500 song titles that have been used in hundreds of television shows. In the last 12 months, 40% of the royalties for this catalog totaled $17,807.
One benefit of owning this asset is that it is a minority stake in the catalog of music and the seller will maintain a majority stake. This means the seller will continue to actively work the catalog to find new placements for the music in upcoming television programming. This asset is catered to the passive investor looking to collect royalty payments without having to actively shop the tracks in the catalog.
ASCAP will distribute the royalties to the winner of this auction on a quarterly basis. The winner of the auction will receive the first royalty check in January. More detailed information can be found in the “Financials” tab.
What is being sold?
40% of the seller's songwriter share of public performance royalties for a collection of musical works from the seller's ASCAP catalog. The financials represented in the listing reflect 40% of the royalties earned by this asset. That means if you owned the asset available for auction, you would have earned that amount of royalties.
How does this asset make money?
Every time a network airs a television show that uses any of the songs in this catalog, the asset generates a public performance royalty. This means every time an episode of Catfish: The TV Show, The Dr. Oz Show, or any other show, uses a song from this catalog and airs on television, you earn money.
