Our Approach to Social Investment

Foresters Community Finance has a unique approach to Social Investment, using your invested funds to make a difference in community while delivering financial returns.  Our approach is unique in Australia, delivering investors an opportunity to affirm their values while pursuing financial goals.

Your money invested in our Social Investment Funds is used to enable positive, local community outcomes through asset building strategies, which otherwise would not happen.

Social returns are generated by pooling your funds with the funds of others like you - using those funds to invest in assets like buildings, property and businesses.  Social Investment combines the wealth creating strategies of the financial sector with the objectives of the social sector to address social problems.

Social investment is on the increase in Australia.  There is a growing demand in a market where options for positively screened social investment is limited.  It is important therefore to know what you are investing in and how it makes a social difference.

For more information about the social impact your investment creates see our Community Asset Building Case Studies.
