OikoCredit

General information

To mobilise the funds needed for our mission of providing finance and technical support to disadvantaged people in the developing world, the Oikocredit cooperative issues shares to its members. One of its members, the Oikocredit International Share Foundation (OISF), also provides an investment opportunity for non-members by issuing depository receipts for Oikocredit shares.

When you invest in Oikocredit you acquire these depository receipts, which are a social investment product and have generated a 2% gross dividend each year, every year since 2000, whilst creating a positive social impact [from annual reports and accounts].

Investing is open to both organisations and eligible individuals, and is particularly suitable if you are looking to deploy liquid or long-term risk capital into social investments and/or meet objectives of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the developing world.

Investing in Oikocredit is about much more than a financial return. It's about fairness and feeling good about where your money goes.

Capital at Risk. Minimum investment £150 (€200). No maximum. Conditions apply. Your investment is at risk. It is not covered by a Financial Compensation Scheme and is potentially illiquid. If you are in doubt about the suitability of this investment, please contact a financial expert. Past performance is not a guide to future performance and repayment of your investment is not guaranteed.
