Allia Business Breakfast - Retail Charity Bonds

Allia, in association with London Stock Exchange,
invite you to a Business Breakfast

Topic: Retail Charity Bonds: how UK charities are raising funds through the retail bond market.

Join us at this invitation-only event as we bring together leaders from some of the country's largest charities to discuss the opportunity to raise loan finance from ethical investors through bonds listed on London Stock Exchange.

Who it’s for:

• Chief executives, finance directors and trustees of charities with a
  strong track record of income generation and an interest in borrowing £10m or more
• Social investment intermediaries and advisors of relevant charities

This breakfast session will explore:

• Why borrowers are coming to the retail bond market as an alternative to more traditional forms of borrowing
• The demand from individual and institutional investors for mainstream ethical investment opportunities
• How the Retail Charity Bond platform provides affordable access to the bond market for UK charities
• The criteria for raising finance through Retail Charity Bonds

You'll also get the chance to find out more about Hightown Praetorian & Churches Housing Association who raised £27m through a bond in April and hear directly from Golden Lane Housing, who raised £11m through the first Retail Charity Bond last summer.
