Investor Relations
Private placement · SECZ alignedUnlock resilient yields through cooperative fixed income
Cooperative Debentures are private-placement debt issued by registered societies and secured against real production. They pay a contractual coupon, sit outside listed equity risk, and put capital to work in the enterprises that feed, build and supply African markets.
Capital at risk. Cooperative debentures are private placements available to qualified investors only and are not an offer of securities to the public.

The CDE investment thesis
Why cooperative debentures belong in a diversified portfolio
Four structural reasons the CDE asset class earns a place beside listed bonds and equities in an institutional portfolio.
Fixed income
Predictable yields
Coupons are contracted at placement and serviced from the productive cash flows of the issuing society — not from member contributions or capital raising.
Contractual couponSecurity
Asset and commodity backing
Issues are secured against tangible value — crop intake contracts, mining offtake, equipment and housing stock — giving the holder a real claim rather than a bare promise.
Tangible collateralPortfolio fit
True portfolio diversification
Cooperative debt prices off local production and internal trade rather than listed equity sentiment, so it moves independently of public market volatility.

Measurable ESG and social impact
