NOTES:
The Company currently primarily invests in social housing assets in the UK, with a particular focus on specialised supported housing (SSH). SSH is accommodation for vulnerable adults requiring support to live independently, including those with learning difficulties, mental health problems and physical disabilities. These properties are specially designed or adapted to meet residents' needs and are managed by Approved Providers who are predominantly regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing. Approved Providers consist of Housing Associations and Local Authorities, or other regulated organisations in receipt of direct payment from local government.
Subject to Shareholders approving the proposed changes to the Company's investment objective and policy at the General Meeting of the Company to be held on 8 July 2026, the Company's investment focus will be expanded to enable the Company to invest into senior living and care home assets in addition to specialised supported housing.
The Company is listed on the closed-ended investment funds category of the FCA's Official List and its Ordinary Shares are traded on the LSE's Main Market.
Atrato Partners Limited is the Company's Investment Manager.
