We realize that natural resource exploration is a niche and only a handful of investors understand it. To make such projects pitch-able to the general public, or institutions that are only looking to hedge their capital against inflation, we propose setting up counter-secured funds (or guaranteed funds), whereby investors are entitled to receive an interest on their deposit for a specific period of time (1-3 years), regardless of the outcome of the exploration project.

In case of complete failure, they will be guaranteed a minimum interest.

In case of success they will receive a maximum allowance, specified before the closing of the fund.

All other profits are ALVERADA’s. Participants in CSFs don’t assume risks, consequently don’t receive voting rights and decision-making power.

Essentially a CSF is proprietary capital immobilized to cover a theoretical 100% loss plus interest.

We are implicitly making the assumption that we can have a remarkably high success rate in striking hydrocarbon-rich perimeters. After all, ALVERADA is run by engineers and geologists.
