Downing is a sustainable investment manager established in London in 1986. We currently manage c.£2 billion of assets under a broad range of investment mandates across our funds, investment trusts and tax-efficient products. As a certified B Corporation we are focused on creating a sustainable future and our key investment areas are renewable energy, infrastructure, property and healthcare.
The Downing Bond platform launched in 2016 as an alternative way for businesses to raise finance, whilst providing retail investors with access to investment opportunities that typically require a higher entry level of investment.
These are simply Corporate Bonds not listed on a stock exchange. They aren't listed because when companies want to raise smaller amounts of money for a shorter term, the costs and the time it takes to list makes it prohibitive.
Investing in Downing Bonds is very straight forward. Simply choose the investment or investments that are right for you and begin to accrue interest at the rate advertised. Interest terms can vary, with some Bonds paying interest at regular intervals and others rolling up and compounding, helping to maximise returns.
The majority of Bonds on offer have a fixed term and so investors should expect to hold the Bond until maturity (typically 1-3 years). Our Bonds are asset backed and typically hold a first charge over assets, however, they are considered high risk investments and so as with any investment, you should do your research before investing.
