Investment Risks & Community Protections

All investors should be aware that all investments carry inherent risks, including the possibility of partial or total loss of capital. An investment in the SWATS Community Stewardship PBC or (CST) is no exception. Potential investors should only consider purchasing shares after considering carefully the risks associated with the investment. Prospective investors should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section in CST Offering Circular, that will be available on the CST Investor Portal when it opens, before making any investment decision.

While the CST has taken measures to prioritize community investor protection—including structuring investments so that community investors are first in line for repayment—there is no guarantee of return. Philanthropic partners have agreed to subordinate their returns to help reduce risk to community investors, but returns are dependent on property cash flows and appreciation and are not guaranteed.
