2. What is the minimum investment?
Currently, the minimum investment is $50,000.
3. How is my investment secured?
Once you’ve invested you are a partial owner
(officially called a ‘Member’) of the Simcoe
Green Investments, LLC. This LLC owns all of
the properties we own so you have both an
ownership stake in our owned properties as
well as an equity stake in any and all current
projects.
4. How will my capital be used?
Your investment is used for development
project costs (land acquisition, construction) as
well as general business expenses of the
company.
5. How are profits earned?
As the company earns profits from current
projects, those profits are retained in the
business in order to grow the fund and give
more opportunity to reinvest the proceeds in
subsequent projects thus magnifying profits over
the life of the fund. When profits are plowed
back into the company, the company can be
grown and profit from a greater base.
6. How are profits split between investors?
Profits are split on a pro-rate basis based on your share of the
total capital pool. For example:
• Investor A has invested $200k
• Investor B has invested $150k
• Investor C has invested $400k
• Investor D has invested $50k
• You have invested $200k.
• Total Money invested = $1,000,000
Your share of invested capital = 20% ($200k/$1M) thus you receive 20% of
all profit payouts.
7. Does my capital go into only one project at a time?
No, your capital is used on several projects at
once. This both mitigates your risk among all of
our projects as well as keeping it fair and
equitable for all investors.
8. When do I get my principle back?
You principal will be returned within six months
of the close of the fund (5/18).The six month
timeframe is given to allow the company time to
wind up any current projects in place.
9. Do I receive dividends?
Accredited investors who invest a minimum of
$200,000 receive a 6.5% annual dividend that is
accrued on a quarterly basis.
10. Can I get my money out earlier?
There is a two year lock up period which is
necessary to maximize the growth of the
business.
11. What is your Management Fee?

replaced with salaries for company staff to keep
fees down.
