ParryField Lawyers have created this information hub because impact investing is a new way of thinking about how investments itself is conceived, so they want to empower you with information! While in the past the focus may have been nearly wholly focussed on financial returns, impact investing flips that on its head by making that just one of the criteria to consider when you are looking to invest. Provided for free here are articles, guides, links to upcoming seminars and more.
This innovative fund is designed to achieve a dual purpose: addressing the critical need for more housing in the area while ensuring a return on investment for stakeholders. This balanced approach marks a forward-thinking strategy in social housing, melding commercial viability with community responsibility.
