SharedImpact for Government
Social investment can play a central role in transforming civil society, empowering more local communities, enabling more social enterprises to deliver public services and establishing more financially resilient charities. Unlike traditional impact investment funds, we provide total transparency of where the account holders funds are deployed, not just after-the-fact, but allowing the account-holder to make their own choices.
Localism
The UK has over 160,000 registered charities, and numerous social enterprises, yet there are only around a dozen Impact Investment Funds to support them. SharedImpact will foster the development of these funds: spreading best practice within the existing ones, and encouraging the launch of many more, working at a local level to encourage community engagement.
Accessing Retail
The public sees the greatest benefit with the development of the SharedImpact platform. With no account minimums, they are able to introduce, in aggregate, significant sums to the sector that would otherwise not be provided. Until now, the market has only been open to High Net Worth Individuals who could each meet the typical £100,000 minimum threshold entry requirement to lend into an impact investment fund. So far, the public has been locked out of this opportunity.
