Investments in shares of renewable energy co-operatives and community benefit societies are longterm investments to deliver an environmental and social impact as well as a financial return. As withany investment there are risks. Your capital is at risk and may not be readily realisable. Returns areprojected, variable, depend on performance of the project and are not guaranteed. Consider all risksbefore investing. As unregulated share offers, investments do not receive the protection of theGovernment’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme and investors do not have recourse to theFinancial Ombudsman Service.
