Our Funds
CEI-Boulos’s objective is to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns from investments in commercial real estate projects with positive social and environmental impacts, with a focus on:
Projects that help create good jobs
Affordable and workforce housing
Main street revitalization/historic preservation that do not contribute to displacement
Developments that serve nonprofit organizations
Sustainability-focused real estate developments that incorporate green construction practices and/or clean energy adoption.
An Award-Winning Model of Impact Investing
All of our funds have established a Social Impact Advisory Board composed of community development professionals and nonprofit leaders that reflect and represent each fund’s key investment audiences.
The Social Impact Advisory Boards provide input related to the social and environmental impacts of each fund’s proposed investments by using metrics that align with the Community Reinvestment Act and other ESG goals.
CEI-Boulos’s first fund, the Woodforest CEI-Boulos Opportunity Fund, was recognized by Forbes and the Sorenson Impact Center as one of “The Forbes OZ 20: Top Opportunity Zone Catalysts’” and one of the ten most innovative and impact focused Opportunity Zone funds in the country.
The Woodforest CEI-Boulos Opportunity Fund was also selected as the winner in the Societal & Community Impact Innovation category for the 2020 BAI Global Innovation Awards , a prestigious awards program recognizing financial services organizations that have gone beyond the conventional to bring creative ideas to life, especially during a time of unprecedented change.
