The result is a unique blended value investment opportunity.

The aim is to offer a range of social impact outcomes in urban and regional areas through the employment creation activities of social enterprises.  As well as employment outcomes, the Fund also offers the opportunity to contribute to outcomes that respond to social, cultural and environmental issues.
