... Continuing on the theme of housing, specialists from Gresham House discussed shared ownership as an affordable housing solution, and how it can generate stable and secure long term inflation-linked returns and quantifiable social benefits.

Introduced by Karen Shackleton, Founder of Pensions for Purpose, Karen was joined by Ben Fry, Head of Housing Investment at Gresham House and Rebecca Craddock-Taylor, Director of Sustainable Investment who discussed how undersupply of housing and decreasing affordability has pushed home ownership out of reach for many and how institutions can help address this problem through a part rent, part buy model. Ben and Rebecca answered questions on a range of topics such as measuring social impact and assessing the wider societal benefits of making home ownership affordable and
accessible to people on lower and middle incomes.
