Commandment 6: Find an Income Amplifier
Stay committed to your decisions but stay flexible in your approach. —Tony Robbins
In this chapter, the author introduces us to the concept of income amplifiers and what multiple income amplifiers can do for an investor when you stack them.
An income amplifier is any mechanic or negotiated term that helps improve an investment return. Various ways are out there to structure these deal terms, and the more income amplifiers you can get, the better the investment return should be.
Investment Income Amplifiers
A variety of investment income amplifiers are available but rarely used by the typical investor.
Here is a list of the most common income amplifiers.
Negotiating preferred terms — terms that improve the economics of the investment.
Sidecar agreements — an addendum or agreement with pre-negotiated preferred terms
Co-investment opportunity — an opportunity to invest in a specific deal outside of a fund but alongside the fund managers.
Equity kickers — free equity given as an incentive to make an investment even better.
Warrants — an option to buy equity in the future at a predetermined price.
Revenue shares — a percentage of top-line revenue paid to an investor, typically with monthly distributions.
Liquidation preference — a clause in a contract that dictates the payout order of proceeds upon the sale of a company or other corporate liquidation.
Advisory shares — business advisors will often exchange their involvement within a company for compensation with common stock options, leading to equity in the company.
Debt investment — Investing in the form of a loan rather than straight equity.
Accelerated distribution schedule — Investing in the form of straight equity rather than a loan but with a faster repayment schedule.
Profits interest — This amplifier is an equity right based on a company’s future value. It can often be better than equity from a tax standpoint because it doesn’t incur taxes during the holding period.
