Is social investment moving into mainstream investing?
About Resonance
Resonance is a social impact investment company. We create and manage impact investment funds that deliver financial and targeted social impact. We believe that change is possible and that one day, aligning profits with social impact will be the norm. A key focus of our work is the Homelessness Property Funds we have developed, such as the Women In Safe Homes fund. This fund, believed to be the world’s first gender-lens property fund, has been created as a solution to the lack of affordable, safe and secure homes for women who are experiencing homelessness, have been involved with the criminal justice system, are survivors of domestic abuse or have other complex needs. We have five homelessness property funds, and to date we have delivered safe and affordable homes for 2,533 people, including 1,242 children, in 822 properties. Established in 2002, we currently have over £260m of funds under management and now manage 10 impact investment funds. These include: Property Funds – scaling social enterprise through access to residential property, on the right terms and at scale, with a current focus on groups across three main themes: Learning Disabilities, Vulnerable Women and Homelessness. Enterprise Growth Funds – scaling social enterprise through access to affordable and flexible growth capital. Community Asset Funds – empowering local communities to deliver the asset projects they need to flourish and inspire others. In addition to our investment funds we have an advisory service that works with social enterprises, helping them to grow their impact and raise capital.
