Impact Strategy & Management
Fund Services
Broadstreet’s Fund Services platform gives private impact fund managers the operational backbone to launch and scale with confidence. Fund Services includes three core areas that can be used individually or together:
We handle the accounting, reporting, treasury, loan servicing, and audit support needed to keep funds running smoothly, so managers can focus on raising capital and making investments.
We help managers design and run the operating model that keeps a fund on track. This includes financial structuring and modeling, forecasting, operational policies and procedures, and stakeholder coordination.
We help managers design, structure, and manage investments that deliver measurable, positive impact. Through expert research and analysis, we provide tools and systems to manage impact and align with industry standards.
Fund Management
Fund Management is separate from our Fund Services platform. We work closely with sponsor partners to design, launch, and manage investment vehicles in a highly collaborative and bespoke approach. Our funds invest in impactful businesses, intermediaries, and community assets.
Impact Assessment Framework & Rating Tool
Broadstreet’s impact team has built a robust, comprehensive impact assessment framework and associated rating tool which allow us to consistently evaluate the anticipated impacts of our investments, thus incorporating impact data into the diligence process.
The impact assessment framework is based upon the Impact Management Project (IMP)’s Five Dimensions of Impact: What, Who, How Much, Contribution and Risk. These dimensions, which were identified by the IMP as foundational concepts that should be used to understand any impact, have been widely adopted within the practice of impact management in the impact investing and community investing fields.
Our impact assessment framework and rating tool not only enables us to assess impact more rigorously, but contribute to benchmarking our impact performance, and achieving greater progress toward our community development goals.
Alignment to Industry Best Practices & Partnerships
We align to several industry frameworks to ensure we are measuring our impact in both a rigorous and standardized way. We also collaborate with the broader industry to share learnings and better understand how we can evolve our own IM practices.
