The UK Real Estate Impact Fund will invest in affordable homes, workplaces, and mixed-use town center repurposing projects, the company revealed at Bisnow's2021 Women Leading Real Estate event.

Schroders says it plans to invest between $150 million and $1 billion in the fund within three years, assuming an average loan-to-value ratio of 30% and a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 40%.

The company says it plans to deliver positive social impact in areas defined as deprived by the UK government, as well as deliver a financial return.
