Why Invest

The ISS Cassini Outposts will provide both ISK dividends to shareholders, as well as over time see an increase in the ISK value of the shares. So as an investor, you will get a monthly income and have an asset to re-sell to other players.

Investment Example

The conservative estimate below shows how investing 100m ISK (10 Shares) in ISS Cassini Shares could increase your ISK from 100m to 150m in 6 months.
Only two actions required by you is to buy them and then sell them.
For a complete breakdown of this calculation, see end of this page.

Are any of these people you?

There are several player profiles who would have an interest in buying shares in the ISS Cassini. Here are some examples:

You are an independent pilot
Perhaps you have a ISK in your wallet doing nothing for you, maybe as little as 100m or as a much as a few Bllion, but you don't have enough to buy a Tech2 BPO. You can benefit from investing in shares because they generate an automatic return each month - no further effort required on your part. Have a read through the business plan

You are a big player on the market
You want an office in ISS Cassini because it’ll give you a foothold on the aspiring 0.0 market place. Have a read through the business plan

You are a trader
You are used to investing, usually in units on the market, and would like to put your cash somewhere that doesn't require you to run 10 jumps back and forth to make deliveries. Apart from Tech II BPO’s there are not many opportunities to do that in Eve. Have a read through the business plan

Or perhaps you are saving up for the ‘next big thing’, but you haven not got all the ISK yet. So, investing in oupost shares is smart, because you can take 3 or 6 months dividend and then sell your shares when you’re ready to buy the object of your dreams. Have a read through the business plan

You are a POS manufacturer
You're looking to establish your corporation in a 0.0 region. The conveniently placed Cassini will let you buy fuel 1 jump away in Torrinos, run your reactions in 0.0 space only 1 jump away, and then deliver straight back to market. Have a read through the business plan

You want see 0.0 colonisation
You've always wanted to improve the infrastructure in Eve in the long term and you think ISS can help do that. Making ISK at the same time can't hurt :)

You are an investor in the ISS Marginis, Borealis or Providence Outposts
You have already seen the dividends and value increase that can be achieved in publicity run outposts. Make sure you read the business plan to see how the three projects compare.

Investment Example

Below is the model used in the example. It assumes:
- You get your shares at the IPO price 10m/share
- You buy 10 shares
- Dividend rates are 5% on the IPO value (500k ISK/share/mth)
- Demand for shares increase after the IPO is complete
- You sell your shares after 6months.
