Investor Relations
Seedco Financial is supported by private and public investors who are interested and involved in creating opportunities in underserved communities.
Over the last several years, Seedco Financial has grown its assets under management to over $70 million. We have built our Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) lending base from $8 million to more than $32 million, in large part due to our success in securing commitments from regional banking institutions in its target sites. Seedco Financial has also been awarded more than $200 million in New Markets Tax Credit allocations during recent years.
In 2010, we sharpened our focus to better serve the needs of “unbankable” yet financially viable businesses that can demonstrate appropriate uses of capital and an ability to manage debt. We have grown our loan portfolio while maintaining sustainable measures of loan performance for eight consecutive quarters. At the same time, we have expanded our networks of community partners, who are essential to our ability to best serve our clients. We are also proud to have extended our base of financial partners to include leaders in banking and social investment, such as Goldman Sachs and Prudential insurance Company, and from leading private foundations, including The Walton Family Foundation and blue moon fund. We have also leveraged longstanding partnerships with public agencies, including the CDFi Fund and the Economic Development Administration, to deliver technical assistance programs to help our small business clients stabilize and expand.
Since 2005, our lending activity has supported more than 800 small businesses and nonprofits and helped retain and/or create approximately 2,000 jobs.
Seedco Financial's on-time repayment rate has consistently been more than 95%.
Seedco Financial seeks to raise financing from potential investors through various means to capitalize and otherwise support our ongoing community lending activities:
- Program-Related Investment
- Equity Equivalent
- Co-Lending/Single-Event Financing
- New Markets Tax Credits
