If I understood you correctly it seems that the closest thing that you are looking for is microfinance, i.e., you borrow the poor money and they (in theory) prosper and even return the money to you, with an interest. However, microfinance don’t seem to be very effective. Here is GiveWell analysis on it https://​​www.givewell.org/​​international/​​economic-empowerment/​​microfinance
Thanks for remarking that clarification: rather than expecting any ROI, the idea here would be to give away, free and clear, a charitable donation directly to the recipient—as in the ‘direct payment’ model—but in the form of a securities portfolio, rather than in cash.
