Investing with New Ground

Impact investing is our core business, not something we do on the side as an ‘allocation’ in a portfolio or to take advantage of perceived trends.

Our impact investment strategy enables solutions to some of the most pressing societal and environmental problems. With a broad mandate across a range of different industries and sectors, we select opportunities and projects that align with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including sustainable food production, agricultural technology, healthcare, education, clean energy, and waste minimisation.  

We’re driven by the idea of breaking new ground in the way capital is invested, and we’d love for you to join us!

Our Investments are open to wholesale investors, and we are always open to talking with those who may hold opportunities for partnership in creating and fulfilling investment opportunities.

 
 

Impact Funds

New Ground co-founded NZ’s first domestically-focused impact fund, the Impact Enterprise Fund, together with Akina Foundation and Impact Ventures, in 2017. The Impact Enterprise Fund has since invested growth capital in 10 commercial ventures that are seeking to generate meaningful, measurable and scalable social or environmental impacts. In 2022 we established the innovative Homes For Tamariki fund, and in 2023 we were appointed to co-manage the Bay of Plenty Housing Equity Fund.

 
 

Housing

Since 2014, we’ve been pioneering the development of Build-to-Rent housing investments for institutional investors in NZ, at the same time bringing about meaningful improvements for renting households by providing modern, healthy and professionally managed homes with security of tenure. Today, we’re involved in a wide range of rental housing and affordable housing projects right across New Zealand, spanning roles as investment manager, developer and development manager, as well as property manager through New Ground Living. We’re currently establishing a Bay of Plenty-focused affordable housing fund, in association with a number of the region’s investment trusts and local bodies.
