IMPACT INVESTMENT

Where finance and investment combine to be a powerful and scalable force for good.

Investment Types

Impact investments are investments designed to create positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. As the impact investment industry becomes more mainstream, thoughtful and accurate measurement is more important than ever. Our impact investment manager partner has built a track record of measuring and transparently communicating its impact.

Conscious Investment Management Impact Fund

The Conscious Investment Management Impact Fund provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of impact investments that create a lasting positive social and environmental impact, while earning a market rate financial return. The Fund focuses on three key impact themes: environmental and climate, health and education, and sustainable development.

The Fund targets a financial return of 7%-11% p.a. (over the medium term, after fees and before investor-level taxes), such that its investments are financially sustainable, and capital invested can be recycled to continue providing social benefits into a long-term and better future. The Fund is open ended.

Investment Highlights

Strong potential return - invest into a portfolio of existing assets that delivers a running net distribution yield of between 5-7% p.a., with a targeted expected total net return of 7-11% p.a.

Quality social impact metrics – transparent and independently verified measurement of social and environmental impact and benefits.

Proven track record – access to a skilled investment team with top tier experience in investment management, transaction structuring and execution, and access to global deal flow.

Aligning values – investing capital into diverse investment opportunities that make a lasting difference to society and the environment.

OPEN TO AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTIONAL AND WHOLESALE INVESTORS

Impact investment can be treated as its own asset class, however it can also form part of a real asset or private equity/debt portfolio within an alternatives allocation.
