Where positive social and environmental impact enhance investment performance
We launched one of the first institutionally managed, woman-led private equity real estate funds built on an impact investment thesis that market-rate financial returns can be enhanced by creating healthy, safe and affordable communities for people with moderate and low incomes.
Our impact fund, PGIM Real Estate U.S. Impact Value Partners, leverages PGIM Real Estate's track record in transformative development and affordable housing, as well as the expertise of our parent company, which has invested more than $5.2 billion in impact-oriented assets since its founding more than 40 years ago.
Strategy – Investing at the nexus of impact and performance
Sectors – Multifamily and affordable housing and transformative development
Target Markets – Major U.S. markets with anticipated population and economic growth, as well as opportunities to positively impact people and communities with low and moderate incomes.
