The Company primarily invests in newly-developed social housing assets in
the UK, with a particular focus on specialised supported housing. These
operational residential assets deliver long-term sustainable income and are
managed by Approved Providers (being Housing Associations, Local Authorities
or other regulated organisations in receipt of direct payment from local
government). The portfolio comprises investments into properties which are
already subject to a lease with an Approved Provider, as well as forward
funding of pre-let developments, but does not include any direct or
speculative development.

 

The Company was admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main
Market of the London Stock Exchange on 8 August 2017 and was admitted to the
Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and migrated to trading on
the Main Market on 27 March 2018. The Company operates as a UK Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") and is a constituent of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
index.
