Structuring & risk

Every strategy is engineered before it is sold.

We size senior, mezzanine and first-loss tranches to the risk of each pool, so international investors can choose the seniority that matches their mandate. Minah co-invests in the first-loss tranche of every strategy.

Risk is managed at three levels: asset selection, portfolio construction and continuous monitoring, with covenants, hedging and independent audit built into the structure rather than added afterwards.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

  • Minah is a blockchain-enabled investment platform that connects global investors, including the African diaspora, to real-world asset opportunities across Africa.

    It makes investing in high-quality, impact-driven projects, such as real estate, energy, agriculture, and SMEs, transparent, secure, and structured.

    Our pan-African, professional approach is rooted in financial discipline: we exclusively structure collateralized debt exposures (investments backed by tangible assets or contractual guarantees), ensuring enhanced risk control and clear visibility over repayment flows.

  • To invest in a Minah strategy, simply follow these steps:

    1. Create an account using the email address of your choice. 2. Select a strategy from the list of available investment opportunities. 3. Complete the onboarding process with our partner Compilot. 4. Review and sign the Terms and Conditions related to your investment. 5. Transfer funds to the designated bank account once your onboarding has been validated.

    Once completed, you become a member of the Minah community. Your participation as a strategy investor is materialized by a digital asset accessible in your personal dashboard.

  • Minah strategies are primarily financed through structured debt instruments (forms of borrowing used to finance projects), including blockchain-secured bonds (digital debt securities recorded and secured using blockchain technology).

    These bonds function similarly to a bank loan (an amount lent by investors and repaid over time): they pay interest (regular income paid to investors) over a defined period and have a fixed maturity date (the date when the capital is repaid).

    Most Minah strategies use bullet bonds (bonds where interest is paid during the investment period and the full capital is repaid at the end).

    Blockchain technology is used to secure and record transactions (ensuring transparency and traceability of payments and ownership), while remaining aligned with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

  • Minah applies rigorous due diligence and ongoing risk monitoring throughout the investment lifecycle. Each strategy is structured with diversification and risk-mitigation mechanisms; however, no investment is risk-free. Under the contractual terms applicable to each strategy, Minah SAS (Paris, France) is legally obliged to pay the interest due and to repay the loan. That said, the capital invested is not guaranteed. Minah SAS is a company legally incorporated and registered in France, operating under French law and subject to applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Investors are therefore encouraged to carefully review all documentation related to a strategy before investing.

  • Investor protection is supported by multiple layers:

    1. Structured strategies with risk mitigation frameworks. 2. Blockchain recording of transactions for transparency and traceability. 3. Clear legal documentation tailored to global investor standards.

    These features help ensure that capital flows are visible and governed according to best practices.

  • A Minah investment strategy is a cohesive portfolio of real-world assets bundled around a clear theme or sector. Each strategy brings together complementary, locally led initiatives that share economic potential and social impact. Investors commit to the strategy as a whole, rather than choosing individual assets to diversify risks.

    Assets for profit: these assets will receive financing with a view to achieving financial profitability.

    Assets for impact: these assets will receive financing in order to meet sustainable development objectives, in particular those based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each strategy is therefore a set of several assets carefully selected to ensure both financial profitability and support for sustainable development in the sub-region.

  • Investment opportunities are rigorously vetted by Minah’s team in partnership with trusted local operators and top tier banks. Each project must demonstrate economic viability, sound governance, and measurable outcomes.

    Selected opportunities are then structured into diversified investment strategies, using a portfolio-based approach designed to balance risk and return. Drawing on our investment experience and professional network across African regions, Minah combines multiple assets within a single financial product to enhance diversification and risk mitigation before offering a strategy on the platform.

  • Impact is measured through defined social and environmental KPIs specific to each strategy. For every strategy, Minah identifies the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aligns impact indicators accordingly.

    Impact measurement is embedded throughout the entire investment lifecycle, with reporting on outcomes such as job creation, local economic growth, and sustainable project performance. This impact data is made available to investors to ensure transparency and accountability.

  • Anyone with the legal capacity to invest can participate, from institutional investors and fund managers to individuals, diaspora communities, and impact-oriented investors seeking exposure to Africa’s growth. Minah is designed to lower barriers to entry and open access to asset classes often unavailable to professional investors.
