Capital That Builds
Impact Real Assets
Soul Capital’s real asset impact investing funds what communities actually need: housing, clean energy, sustainable infrastructure. These are physical projects with lasting value that hold through market cycles, generate stable income, and create real-world outcomes you can see and measure. This is capital that does more than move, it builds.
Tangible, Durable Value
‘Impact real assets’ mean owning and improving what lasts. Housing developments, whenua-based projects, renewable energy assets, and critical infrastructure hold value across market cycles. These are not abstract financial instruments. They are bricks, land, and turbines; assets you can walk through and understand. Their physical presence offers a degree of security that paper assets often cannot. And because these assets serve core human needs - like shelter, power, and mobility - they remain relevant and valuable even in volatile conditions.
Income You Can Rely On
Real assets generate steady cash flows through leases, energy sales, or usage-based agreements. These income streams tend to be more predictable than those tied to equities and often come with inflation resilience built in. As costs rise, so do rents, tariffs, or feed-in rates, helping preserve real returns over time. For investors seeking dependable income with low correlation to public markets, impact real assets offer a grounded alternative. They help portfolios absorb shocks while supporting essential services that do not pause when the market stumbles.
Measurable, Embedded Impact
The value of impact real assets is not just financial. These projects deliver visible outcomes such as reduced emissions, whānau housed, local jobs created. They contribute to community resilience, social equity, and environmental restoration. Impact is embedded in the design, not added on at the end. Each asset is tracked with real metrics aligned to global frameworks. Reporting is regular and transparent. These projects also align with government priorities and incentives, making them well-suited to blended finance and public-private partnerships. This is how capital gets used well, with nothing to greenwash.
Place-Based and System-Savvy
Impact real assets work at every scale. Some solve systemic problems with major national infrastructure. Others go deep in communities with co-designed, locally led projects. From affordable housing developments to clean energy generation, these investments are built to reflect the complexity of the problems they aim to solve. They are often developed in partnership with iwi, NGOs, local councils, and community operators to ensure relevance, acceptance, and long-term sustainability. And they are catalytic by nature, drawing in co-investors, unlocking policy support, and amplifying every dollar to do more. This is real capital applied to real need, not theory.
The Bottom Line
Impact real assets are what investing looks like when capital is grounded in place and built to last. They deliver income, preserve value, and drive visible change across housing, energy, and infrastructure. They are stable, measurable, and scalable solutions for the problems that are not going away. This is not impact as branding. It is impact you can stand on.
