Abundance Generation

With more than £6.7 million invested by nearly 1500 investors, Abundance is the largest ethical crowdfunding platform. With a mission to make it possible for anyone to make great returns by investing ethically, all projects can be invested in with as little as just £5, and all investors get the same rate.

Like all investments, your capital is at risk when investing in projects through Abundance, although the platform has done well to keep its default rate extremely low.

The projects offered to date — including wind turbines and solar farms — are paying cash returns twice yearly with an effective rate of between 6 and 9%, dependent on the project. All investors buy ‘debentures’ in the project, a type of long-term investment that typically has a term of around 20 years (although it is possible to trade these products in early).
