2. © Social Finance, 2010. 22 Who are Social Finance? Social Finance was formed with an overriding purpose – to connect investment with need in a way that supports social progress Social Finance is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority. FSA No: 497568 Our aim is to make more non-governmental money available reliably and quickly to those who need it. By making more financial resources available for intelligent interventions, we hope to enable better social outcomes. We believe that the market and society need each other and can work more closely together. We develop structures that enable investors to fund social progress and receive returns that can be invested again in society. In this way we make more money available, more sustainably, to address entrenched social issues. Social Finance is an FSA regulated, nonprofit organisation. 2

3. © Social Finance, 2010. What is a Social Impact Bond? 3 A Social Impact Bond is a contract with the public sector in which it commits to pay for improved social outcomes. On the back of this contract, investment is raised from socially- motivated investors. This investment is used to pay for a range of interventions to improve the social outcomes. The financial returns investors receive are dependent on the degree to which outcomes improve. The Social Impact Bond Model

9. © Social Finance, 2010. How do you get paid? 9 The payment structure is crucial to ensuring that the Social Impact Bond encourages and enables quality services to achieve outcomes and address the most deep-seated problems Price per outcome The price should be value rather than cost-based. This encourages the development of more cost- effective outcome delivery models. e.g. the price should be based on the value to the government per reduced re-offender not the on the cost of services delivered Pricing structure The pricing structure should be designed to encourage service providers to work with the entire target population rather than focus on quick wins. Also ensures that investors are rewarded for all the value they create. e.g. if the payment is based on reduction in re-offending then it is more “profitable” to work with a low level offender and stop him offending than invest in effectively resettling a frequent offender. However, if the payment is based on a reduction in conviction events the perverse incentive is removed. Payment timing The payment is received when the outcome is achieved and measured e.g. rather than receiving government funding to deliver the service government only pays when the outcome is achieved.

10. © Social Finance, 2010. Cost of intervention is smaller than public sector savings The cost savings accrue within a relatively short time horizon The cost savings are cashable (particularly in the current economic environment) There are good outcome metrics on which to base a contract Preventative interventions have been shown to improve the outcome Can it be used anywhere? 10 This model does not apply to every social issue and is only one of a range of funding options Traditional funding streams will still be critical in funding many services When Social Impact Bonds Apply

11. © Social Finance, 2010. Example – The One Service The service is funded by investment raised through a Social Impact Bond. Interventions are delivered by a number of social sector providers with a proven track record, united under the brand “One” to provide a co-ordinated service to prisoners. Financial returns to investors are funded by the Ministry of Justice and the Big Lottery Fund and are based on improved reoffending rates. If reoffending rates do not improve, then investors will receive no recompense. 11
