Alternative Investment

I know I should take independent financial advice, but I'd welcome your general opinions on investing in wind energy with aegis power. Is this low risk?

It's safe in that there are sufficient guarantees in place to ensure that you can't lose all of your capital.

However whether the predicted returns will materialise depends upon the wholesale prices that can be achieved for the energy generated (and upon the operational costs required for doing so). So there's no actual guarantee of the predicted 10% p.a..

Further, you need to remember that the 10% p.a. figure is based upon a simple interest calculation. (i.e. you put your money in and, hopefully, get 50% more back in total over a 5-year period). That's equivalent to a little under 8.5% p.a. on a compound interest basis (which still sounds very attractive though).

Thanks both, its never easy to predict performance, but its does sound border line too good to be true!

Reasing it again this morning - are the returns fixed and guarenteed?

Doesn't wind power rely on government subsidies? If they were pulled for any reason an investor would be in trouble.
I know little about this, but it doesn't look one for widows and orphans.
