This occurred to me, I would love any feedback from knowledgeable people in the field of investment and finance.
I am thinking about the feasibility of establishing three interconnected entities…
One entity would be an association of indigent families and individuals who come together for the purpose of investing in corporate stocks, and they finance the purchases through micro-loans.
The other entity would be an NGO dedicated to paying off those micro-loans. This entity could potentially not be needed, as the micro-loans could possibly be paid off in instalments comprised of dividend payouts.
The third entity would be an investment fund that would manage the capital and handle the purchasing of company shares.
If such a project were undertaken with the Rohingya, for example, as the shareholders, it would empower them with minority shareholder rights which could potentially open the door for influencing corporate policy.
