Straightforward to deal with. Very good communication and easy to navigate and understand website.
If you want to lose money, these are the people for you. A large number of their bonds have turned sour with levels of recovery varying from nothing to not a lot. Some of it can be put down to COVID, but a lot of these businesses seem quite shaky. You could understand this if the interest rates were commensurate with the risk, but they aren't much higher than a fixed interest bank account. By all means invest if you want to support these projects, but be aware it's very likely you'll end up with less money than you started with.
Have used them for a few years to invest in energy projects in developing countries. I find their communications and platform excellent and easy to use. Just wish they offered more funding opportunities. You have to remember any investments are at risk with these loans - the platform is up front and clear about that. In a case where a project I invested in hit the bricks they were good at keeping me updated about what they are doing in response.
I'm keen to invest in ethical projects, but it's not always easy to know how reliable they are. EnergiseAfrica vet the projects on their platform in advance, and on an ongoing basis, and are very up-front about degree of risk. I have found them to be an excellent organisation to be associated with.
Energise africa is an incredible organisation doing amazing work. When I invest with them I feel I am investing in something good for the world without all the usual PR from the investment industry. I have been using them for 2 years. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks, Chris
