Investment Amounts
Minimum investment amount
The recommended minimum is $ 2,600 for domestic investors and $ 6,000 for foreign investors at the time of the public offering.
Maximum investment amount
The maximum amount of investment is 10% of the company; However, being a publicly traded company, we can not prevent the purchase of a larger amount. The promoters participate in approximately 25% of the share capital, thus protecting a hostile participation to the detriment of the small investors.
