Investment opportunity

Our investment product

The investment opportunity for individuals and organisations in the UK and Ireland is via depository receipts in the Oikocredit International Share Foundation (OISF), which have historically delivered a gross return each year, every year since 1995*. Withdrawals require no notice period, there are no annual management charges, and investors have always had their capital repaid. Investments can be made in either euros or pounds sterling. The minimum is €200 (or £150), there is no maximum. *Taken from Oikocredit Annual Reports & Accounts.

Legal, compliance and prospectus

The OISF prospectus is approved by the AFM (Autoriteit Financiele Markten), the regulatory authority for financial services in the Netherlands, for the purposes of Article 18 of Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "Prospectus Directive").
