Investor Share

The Investor Share of Surplus is calculated using the Investor Share Fraction defined in Clause 43, and can only be changed by Special Resolution in General Meeting.

The V1.x default for the Investor Share Fraction was:

• 0.5 in User Co-operatives and Worker Co-operatives

• 0.3 in Social Enterprises and Social Co-operatives

From V2.x, and explicitly in V3.x, the default of the Investor Share is 0.30 in companies and 0.25 in cooperatives. The User and Labour Share are still calculated and invested in projects that benefit Labour and Users rather than investors. This fulfil ICA Principle 7 - Concern for Community.

The Investor Share is calculated as follows:

[Surplus] x [Investor Share Fraction]

The Investor Share is allocated as Investor Share Dividends to Investor Shareholders (see Clause 44)
