Bridges Property Alternatives Fund III

The Bridges Property Alternatives Fund III makes sustainable investments in property and property backed operating businesses in the areas of healthcare, education, and small and medium enterprises that lower healthcare costs and create jobs whose products cater to underserved consumer groups in Europe.

Bridges Ventures specialises in using sustainability and wider impact as a lens to identify investment opportunities, where an investment’s potential to create value for society also drives financial value, such as meeting demand for specialist properties, unlocking the potential of emerging locations and improving the energy footprints of buildings to increase their attraction to occupiers and to future-proof value for investors.

The Fund’s competitive advantage is driven by the team’s deep real estate expertise, combining a focus on off-market deals in strategic locations, and an understanding of how to drive value through physical, environmental and operational improvements.

Expert knowledge of demographic and lifestyle changes has allowed the Fund to identify and invest in emerging locations and growth sectors such as healthcare, education, SME workspace and hospitality, often before the mainstream market offering investors a new opportunity to benefit from market leading financial returns whilst creating lasting societal and environmental impact.

Financial description

With proven expertise in the SME space, we believe SMEs are important engines of growth. These businesses often sit below the radar of mid-market investors and therefore face a limited supply of capital. We believe these drivers combine to create strong opportunities for investment and limited competition
We have developed a thematic focus on sectors where a pressing social or environmental need creates strong pockets of growth and the potential for robust returns and positive impacts.
We have attracted a high-calibre team, Board and Advisory Board who are motivated to use their operational and financial expertise to deliver superior returns for investors and society-at-large.
Demonstrated by our track record, our distinctive Responsible Investing+ approach of selecting businesses because of their potential impact and then engaging with them to drive both value and impact should prove attractive to private equity investors.
