They give you the big sell on their Website. Thinking that you are doing a great thing... You open an account and put money in safe in the knowledge that in 12 months time you'll have your capital back and the interest that they promised you!! They then invest your money in projects that have no guaranteed set up for subsidies from OFGEM. ("Purely there word" by the sounds of it). Then they re-structure everything so that you will get your money back in bits and drabs over 20 odd years. When that fails and they miss those payments too. You then try to sell your stake on the Market Place for a massive loss and low and behold, Abundance stop you from doing that!!! Money down the drain. If you want to secure your future then please do not invest in these charlatans... Contact them and you'll get a mountain load of bull and fob off treatment. They'll basically make you feel like it was all your fault and not theirs..

I've been using Abundance for little over 6 months and have found it the best of the platforms that I use.
I've been able to pick up shares in a variety of different projects quite easily and it's been a very good interface to use. Whilst the number of projects available for initial investment may be low, the volume on the secondary marketplace means you don't have to wait to start to get your money working for you.
Keep up the good work!

Great way for f losing your money

You are encouraged to invest in companies that have no planning or Ofgen licenses. And they don’t get the permits to trade and your money disappears. Avoid.

When you can great get rates of return on renewable energy investments and you've come to trust that they genuinely deliver, the only problem is accepting the notion of diversifying the portfolio. Add a very functional website and a steady supply of tempting offers and it is hard not to put all your eggs in the one renewable energy basket. Just be aware with the debentures that the returns are a whole of term average which means that the actual percentage return in the early years is lower than the headline rate, but as the capital is returned year on year, the interest element becomes greater. Eventually you're getting interest on the capital you've already had back. This is not risk free investing, but these investments are in tried and trusted technologies bringing the most essential of commodities to consumers, so it doesn't feel like I'm walking the tightrope between risk and return.

I was already investing with Abundance, but what really attracted me was this correspondence - http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/discuss/letters/novdec2014.aspx - which suggested that Abundance are doing the very best thing in reporting likely returns. Us ethical investors are going to be confused by whether companies are using an XIRR or an IRR, so I'm really pleased that Abundance are doing the right thing.

Also starting returns of capital within a year, and the existence of the bulletin board to trade into and out of debentures gives me more confidence to invest than in other providers.

Simple and feels good to be earning good returns from a clean investment!

I have been a client for 3 years and it feels good to finally be earning money from an ethical investment! Only real downside to date is that the website can be a little slow but apart from that the service is excellent.

The Abundance website is completely different from anything else I have seen in finance. You can view all the projects available instantly and choose exactly where your money goes. The customer service is great (I had a problem remembering a password and they fixed it immediately). I have invested for myself and made gifts of investments in a wind farm to my kids - so they can make a start in investing for themselves. A real breath of fresh air.
