  • v` DOLPHIN TRUST 3. HOW DOES THE DOLPHIN TRUST GMBH INVESTMENT OPERATE? Dolphin Trust GmbH loans money from qualifying individuals in the United Kingdom. In return for the loan, Dolphin Trust provides the lender with a fixed interest payment. This arrangement is properly encapsulated in a legally binding loan contract between the lender and Dolphin Trust. All Investment contracts and other associated documentation has been carefully created by lawyers in the UK & Germany and has been heavily scrutinised by our SIPP Providers.

    Dolphin Trust uses the loan money to fund its work with German Listed Buildings. The Company carefully sources derelict buildings that require renovation. This is because, in Germany, the German Government offers a unique tax break to encourage German citizens to purchase renovated German Listed Buildings.

    The apartments within the German Listed Buildings are sold off-plan (before renovation work commences) through a well-established network of German sales agents. No German Listed Building project purchase is completed unless a Bank Mortgage is approved for the end German buyers. Development funds (i.e. the mortgage provided for the German Buyers) are released by the German Banks on a phased basis. This enables the agreed Interest repayments to be made to the Investors who provided the initial loan funds to Dolphin Trust at the outset.

    4. THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Dolphin Trust GmbH has two Investment options:

    1.The Deferred Income Option

    2. The Invest for Income Option

    When the Deferred Income Option is chosen, an Interest Bonus of 2% is given to an Investor who chooses the 2 year option, and an Interest Bonus of 10% is given to an Investor who choses the 5 year option.

    Investors choosing the Invest for Income Option over 2 & 5 years can enjoy the same interest payments (10% per annum over 5 years) but the Annual Interest is split into two and paid out six monthly. When the Invest for Income option is chosen the capital sum, that was originally invested at the start of the agreement, is returned in full to the Investor at the end of the term.
