Increasing HIDCO Shares-Members Investment Portfolio Options:

1. Mandatory Shares
Every HIDCO Member must invest in 10 mandatory shares to become a full Member. Take note that these shares have got a payment period limitation of 18 months. If you have exceeded that period, Management will follow up with you. If you are within, kindly make an effort to reach to 10 mandatory shares to become a full Member.

2. Voluntary Shares
These are additional shares open to all full HIDCO Members. This is a Shares Account for Members to increase their investment in HIDCO and for increasing the Capital of the Cooperative for growth and development of the Business.

Both Mandatory and Voluntary Shares are not withdrawable unless a member is terminating his/her membership. Payment of Patronage Refund is dependent on level of surplus and Members Resolution at an Annual General Meeting.

3. Prime Shares
An amazing option for all full HIDCO Members, this is a long-term investment with a 10% fixed annual patronage refund, regardless of the performance of the cooperative.
