Anna Clare Harper chatted to Phil Clark, NED at Pinnacle Group (70,000 UK homes); Thriving Investments, part of Places for People; Chair of Pinnacle Investments (a partner of ours); Executive Chair at Wellcome Trust’s Genome Campus; and Investment Committee NED at UCL and PIC.
They discussed what role institutional investors play in the UK Living Sector, and how to become a NED.
Topics include the match between institutions and social/affordable housing, including:
- Scale – Housing Associations are some of the UK’s largest landlords, with an average of 2,801 homes each (and many far bigger).
- Income growth – Typically offering some protection against inflation.
- Attractive yields – Standing stock can generate 4-5% returns.
- Social impact – Many institutions actively seek investments that deliver real-world benefits, and housing is a tangible way to meet urgent needs.
Phil explained what role institutions can play in solving the crisis of affordable (and Affordable) housing, investing through:
- Debt – Lending to Housing Associations, in the same way they would allocate capital to other bond investments.
- Equity – Investing in the end product.
