Frequently Asked Questions
  • Do I have to renew my Note every three months to keep my account?

    No, your note automatically renews every three months unless RSF is notified otherwise in writing.

  • Can I invest through an IRA?

    You may establish a self-directed IRA or a rollover of your retirement account into a Social Investment Note using an IRA asset custodian. It is important to consider the amount of your investment, the earnings you would experience with your investment note, and the annual fees custodians charge before investing.

  • May I access my account online?

    SIF Note holders are granted access to the RSF Client Portal, where they can view account detail and quarterly statements and change their standing instructions. That said, our systems do not currently have the capacity to disburse funds through the Client Portal. You may set up a one-time or recurring contribution via ACH to add to your SIF Note.

  • How do I redeem a portion or all of my investment?

    Principal and accrued interest may be repaid to investors at maturity. You can request a redemption under the Investing Resources menu on our client portal. If you are not registered for the client portal, please contact us at  sif@rsfsocialfinance.org to begin the process. RSF is not obligated to allow SIF Noteholders to redeem before maturity.

  • Is there a fee for wires or checks for redemptions?

    RSF does not charge a fee for wires or checks for redemption. Your bank may charge to receive transfers, however, so we encourage you to contact them before making the request.
