Portugal. The Man - Songwriter Royalties

Portugal. The Man spent more than a decade playing psychedelic rock to a devoted cult audience before "Feel It Still" made them a global act, reaching the top 10 in 18 countries, earning seven-times platinum certification from the RIAA, and winning the 2018 Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. This asset holds a share of the composition performance royalties across 22 of their songs, from the 2013 material through a 2025 release, paid whenever those songs are played publicly.

Streaming is the engine, at 42.7% of the last twelve months and compounding at 20.3% a year across the trailing five years. That growth is not confined to the newer material. Nine years after release, "Feel It Still" is still finding new audiences, with its streaming income compounding at 16.8% annually over the same five years. Film and television is the second leg. "Feel It Still" appeared in both Peter Rabbit films, Love, Simon, Purple Hearts and Ghosted, and it has been placed in TV series The Good Doctor, Grey's Anatomy, 9-1-1 and Suits, as well as NFL and MLB broadcasts. "Dummy" landed in the 2023 rom-com Anyone But You and now earns more from film and television than from streaming. Across the catalog, the source accounts for 12.6% of the last twelve months and is roughly 85% international.

The band remains in full production. They released their tenth studio album in November 2025, played thirteen countries across Europe and the UK in early 2026, and have amphitheater dates through summer 2026, including the iconic Hollywood Bowl. The royalties follow: live income has grown in each of the last three calendar years, from $294 to $466 to $678, songs released since 2022 supply just under a quarter of income, and all 22 tracks earned over the period.

The appeal to add this to your portfolio is a rare combination: a Grammy-winning hit whose largest income source is compounding rather than fading, a screen presence deep enough to keep paying across dozens of territories every time a show reruns, and an active band whose touring and new releases keep feeding the royalty stream.

Portugal. The Man formed in Wasilla, Alaska in 2004 and now rank among the most commercially successful American alternative rock acts of the last decade.

The catalog's largest song is "Feel It Still," from Woodstock (2017), which reached number four on the Hot 100, spent a record 20 weeks atop Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, earned seven-times platinum certification from the RIAA, and won the 2018 Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. "Live in the Moment," the follow-up single from the same album, is gold-certified and topped both the Adult Alternative Songs chart in January 2018 and the Alternative Songs chart that March. "So Young" also dates from that period.

"Dummy" and "Summer of Luv" both come from Chris Black Changed My Life (2023), produced largely by Jeff Bhasker. "Dummy," the lead single, spent nine consecutive weeks in the top 10 at alternative radio and was later placed in the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone But You. "Summer of Luv" features New Zealand psych-pop act Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
