Social and Transformational Fund I
"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral" - Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
Ginzburg Social and Transformational Fund (GSTF I) is a high-quality value-add social infrastructure investment platform focused on mid-size development and operating businesses in the UK and the EU, the ones that can be scaled and transformed into superstar companies of tomorrow. Social infrastructure projects across the EU countries have once been the sole province of national and local governments but funding gaps and rising demand have left them with a multibillion-pound shortfall and inability to meet social infrastructure needs of their residents. GSTF l has responded to the social challenges offering an opportunity to participate in this transformational sector and have a positive social and environmental impact. At the same time GSTF I capital growth potential is underpinned by long-term, stable, inflation-linked cashflows due to its diversified portfolio by sector, geography, manager and asset strategy and its proprietary and off-market deal sourcing.

Initial target size of £300 mil, deployed across 4-6 investments meeting several stringent investment criteria. Target companies will be in the sectors that are on the cusps of real estate and (1) healthcare (e.g. care homes, rehabilitation, diagnostics), (2) childcare / education (e.g. after-school clubs), (3) socially focused housing and (4) local infrastructure (i.e. community sport facilities) with some limited exposure to proptech / medtech. These are the sectors that are less prone to market cyclicality due to inflation, political unrest and deterioration of economic conditions as well as post-Brexit / post-COVID effects. The fund uses a moderate leverage of up to 60% Gross Development Value (GDV) / up to 70% of Gross Development Costs (GDC). Exit envisaged in 5-7 years through the sale of investments though a roll-over can be considered. Target gross IRR is 17%+ with 2.5-3.0x Gross MOIC.
