FAQs

What are the benefits of equity over municipal bonds?

Traditional municipal bonds require your city to pay fixed interest payments, limiting the scope of projects that you can fund. In contrast, raising money by issuing equity requires no specific dividend payment schedule, allowing you to fund long-term, ambitious projects.

Why would someone buy shares of my city?

Just like ownership of a company's stock entitles you to dividend payments, individuals who buy equity in your city can receive dividends from the city's future revenue.

Is my city required to give dividends?

No; your city can pay dividends at whatever rate and at whatever time you like.

Who decides when new shares are issued, and when dividends are paid?

New shares and dividends are approved by whatever budgeting process that your city already uses (usually, a majority vote of council members).

Who will buy shares of my city?

The shares are traded on a public market, so anyone can buy or sell your shares.

Does my city need to issue quarterly reports like companies do?

No; since nearly every city complies with a Freedom of Information Act, no additional reporting is required.

Do shareholders have any voting rights in my city?

No; shareholders do not have any official voting rights.

Can my city use equity as compensation for government workers?

Yes; This For That, the municipal equity stock exchange, has tools to distribute equity compensation to city employees.

What underwriting fees does Chlorinated Capital take?

Chlorinated takes a 4% underwriting fee on all new shares issued.

What's the long-term goal here?

We're trying to fix political incentives: Read the manifesto.
