Since 2001,
SDS Capital Group has been dedicated to launching and managing exceptional impact funds across the U.S.
Today, SDS’s $1 billion portfolio of impact investments – in six different funds/products – serves as a testament to that dedication and the growing promise of impact investing. Every investment we make is driven by our core mission of achieving the financial goals of our institutional investors while deploying our capital in a manner that helps transform underserved communities – alleviating poverty and promoting economic prosperity.
47 different institutional investors; $860 million of direct SDS investment; well-established systems and strategies.
Each fund targets returns based on the level of risk and market expectations for similar non-impact strategies.
Eight-member management team with over $11.9 billion of investment and real estate experience.
Every investment benefits low-income communities and people. Reporting on measurable impacts is core to our platform.
Impact is embedded in every SDS investment. It is in our DNA. Impact investing
is only scalable and successful to the extent it achieves our investors’ financial
goals. At SDS, impact and financial stewardship are inseparable.
Each fund has a distinct geographic focus, as well as unique financial and impact goals. Most are structured to achieve risk-adjusted market-rates-of-return on par with comparable non-impact funds. We also offer some products that can provide capital to end users at a below-market cost. At each stage of our investment process – from origination to exit – we have embedded expert team members, systems, and processes that provide the foundation supporting the financial diligence and stewardship that protects and enhances performance of our investors’ capital.
