Since inception in 2020, Sum1 Investment returns have been between 15-19 % per annum after fees. We target returns of at least 15% per annum. This is subject to asset performance and results may vary year on year.

  • R500  per month for a minimum of  12 months. 
  • Stokvels can increase their contributions anytime throughout the year.
  • Stokvels can also make lump sum investments.

Members have the option of withdrawing their investments after 13 months from their first contribution. This is typically January to January.  After 13 months, members may continue participating in the stokvels new cycle.

Sum1 Invests in a diversified and risk-managed portfolio of  income generating assets based predominantly in rural and township markets. This stokvel portfolio consists of the following assets: 

  • Delivery Bikes
  • Livestock farming
  • Crop Farming
  • Small Business

We invest in these assets because they are in high demand and can generate attractive returns in the short-term. 

Sum1 Investments facilitates the investment of members’ capital in assets e.g. a fleet of delivery bikes which are managed by an experienced fleet management company or farmers managing livestock on behalf of the stokvels.

The delivery bikes generate income from the delivery partner. At the end of the investment period, the bike is paid off by the delivery partner.

Sum1 receives the return which is proportionately shared amongst stokvel members based on their contributions.

Although no investment is without risk; Sum1 Investments  takes the necessary measures and precautions to reduce the risk by investing in a diversified portfolio (We invest in multiple regions, asset classes and with different investment partners.) 

Our investments are insurance- backed: By investing in assets, we are able to insure assets to protect them from unforeseen circumstances such as theft or damages.

Sum1 Investment charges a fixed management fee of 3% per annum on the total value of member contributions. This is used by Sum1 to cover costs associated with investment activities such as entering, managing and exiting investments.
