Patron Capital, the pan-European institutional investor focused on property-backed investments, has won the Sustainability Award at the PROPS awards 2023
The company has been honoured with the prestigious Award, recognising its outstanding commitment to creating positive social and environmental impact within the property industry.
Patron Capital’s groundbreaking initiative, the Women in Safe Homes fund, has been instrumental in securing this esteemed accolade. In partnership with Resonance, a social impact investment company, this innovative fund aims to address the critical lack of affordable, safe, and secure housing for women facing homelessness or domestic abuse.
Since its launch in December 2020, the Women in Safe Homes fund has achieved remarkable milestones. With more than £29 million raised, 53 projects approved by the investment committee, 45 properties acquired of which 43 have successfully handed over to our charity partners. The fund has made a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable women across the country.
This award-winning initiative has not only generated impressive financial returns for investors through rental income and capital appreciation but has also delivered significant social impact. The Women in Safe Homes fund stands as a trailblazing example of how investment strategies can align with social objectives, revolutionising the way we approach property-backed investments.
Patron Capital’s success at the PROPS awards underscores the company’s position as a leading force in the property industry’s charitable sector. With a deep-rooted commitment to making a difference and driving meaningful change, Patron Capital continues to redefine the boundaries of sustainable investing.
Keith Breslauer, Managing Director of Patron Capital, said:
“We are incredibly proud to receive the Sustainability Award at PROPS 2023. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to creating positive social change through sustainable property investments. Our Women in Safe Homes fund is a testament to our dedication in addressing the urgent housing needs of vulnerable women, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to rebuild their lives.”
