“Investors-Aid Co-operative of Canada is just one of over 10,000 co-operatives and credit unions providing products and services to over 10 million Canadians.
Like all co-operatives, we are an organization owned by our members. Co-operatives can provide virtually any product or service, and can be either a non-profit or for-profit enterprise.
Co-operatives exist in every sector of the economy and can touch every aspect of our lives. There are health care, funeral, workers’, housing, retail, child care, and financial co-ops (credit unions). And now there is Canada’s first co-operative for investors.
We provide a distinct values-based, member-owned and controlled alternative.
Like co-ops the world over, Investors-Aid is guided by 7 principles:
1. Voluntary and open membership
2. Democratic member control
3. Member economic participation
4. Autonomy and independence
5. Education, training, and information
6. Co-operation among co-operatives
7. Concern for community
Mission Statement
To provide members education, publications, online tools, and discounts that help ensure low investment costs and fair returns to its members.
Profit-sharing
All members will participate in the Co-op’s success through dividends and/or credits.”
