The Fund conforms to Article 6 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) which means it has as part its investment mission the creation of sustained, positive social impact. Article 6 requires asset managers to disclose how sustainability risks are integrated into their investment decisions and the results of an assessment of the likely impacts of sustainability risks on their funds. The Fund has a social impact through inner-city slum redevelopment and environmental impact through the active use of offsite construction technologies such as steel modular buildings. As such we will be working with our development partners to adopt green construction technologies such as offsite construction and the use of input materials that will reduce the carbon footprint of our projects. The majority of the Fund’s residential redevelopments are under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) which for example gives ownership title of flats to women to provide them with key financial security. In summary, the Fund’s strong commitment to ESG and MII standards means that its projects will deliver better and more efficient buildings with lower maintenance costs".
