Investing in the current climate could be deemed a bit of a minefield. Markets globally have been volatile, helped along the way with Brexit woes, political unrest, and the threats of trade wars to name but a few. However, not all products are correlated to these events, and this only serves to reinforce the message for diversification of investments within a portfolio, particularly given that uninvested cash is likely losing money in real terms in the current low interest rate environment, when considered against its ‘foe’ – inflation. .
Crowd bonds are one such investment that can provide an alternative source of income, with returns that are not correlated to markets. Simply put, they are debt finance instruments that issue loans in return for a regular interest payment. There are many types available – diversified/single company and secured/unsecured so it is important to understand how the funds are being used.
Amberside ALP
Amberside ALP have a range of secured crowd bonds that are giving investors a strong rate of return for financing infrastructure projects that are genuine, tangible assets. Amberside ALP will always take security over a borrowers assets, typically on a first charge basis. https://www.bestpricefs.co.uk/blog/amberside-alp-crowd-bonds/
For example, one of the projects being financed is a large glasshouse in Suffolk that is growing tomatoes hydroponically (without soil). These will be premium tomatoes, with the glasshouse allowing the experienced growers to control every aspect of the environment (temperature, CO2 levels, humidity etc) to ensure a high quality and consistency of crop.
Phase 1 construction is now complete, meaning a lot of the construction risk has now been mitigated, and the first plants were planted in mid-December. The first crop is due to be picked in February 2019, with all tomatoes grown being sold under a 5 year contract to a major UK distributor. Have a look at this LinkedIn article to see some pictures of the tomatoes going in to the glasshouse in December.
