Opportunity to generate financial returns and have a positive social and environmental impact in the community
Why choose our Social Infrastructure Strategy
We've taken the initiative with a strategy that addresses social and environmental challenges while offering the prospect of a market-rate return. Capital growth potential is underpinned by long-term, stable, inflation-linked cash flows.
The key differentiators of our strategy are its dual return objective, a diversified portfolio and its proprietary impact approach.
A Strategy with a Dual Return Objective
A Well-Balanced Pan-European Portfolio
Highly diversified portfolio across geography, sector, tenant, asset strategy and lease expiry
Proprietary Impact Management Framework
Impact integrated into each stage of the investment process through tools and frameworks based on best practices for impact management
Our Real Estate Portfolio
We invest across the main social infrastructure sectors, with a focus on healthcare, education and housing assets. With regards to geography, we invest across Europe, with a focus on the eurozone.
Our strategy results in a highly diversified portfolio by sector, geography, tenant, asset strategy and lease expiry.
Impact Approach
We seek to provide market-rate risk-adjusted returns, similar to non-impact strategies in the core real estate category. This approach to impact investing is called “finance-first”.
We aim to make an impact that is split into both community-related issues and environmental factors. These contributions are aligned to 7 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Where a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the strategy. Where a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified strategy.
