Impact investments may be made via investments into managed or pooled investment schemes (like the Fund) or into projects or organisations, with the express intention of generating investors’ desired and measurable social and/or environmental outcomes, alongside a financial return (that may be at either below-market or above-market rates).
Impact investments vary from grants or other philanthropic means because a financial return is expected, and different from broader investments or finance options because measurable social and/or environmental benefits are at their core.
“The Specialist Residential Property Impact Fund has been created to provide institutional, wholesale and retail investors with the opportunity to participate in the important emerging SDA market, and to deliver vitally important and measurable social outcomes for people with disabilities, and their families and carers”.
