Resilience
Resilience - the enduring power of a body or bodies for
transformation, renewal and recovery through the flux of
interactions and flow of events

Resource Resilience – Natural Grid
Financial Resilience – Open Capital
Financial Resilience – Open Capital

Tax Prepay
Tax Prepay – credit returnable in payment of taxes
Tax Return – 'stock' part of tally stick returned to Treasury
Rate of Return - rate over time at which stock is returnable
for cancellation
eg Prepay £8 for £10 tax - £2 profit 25% pa rate of return
- not fixed - depends on existence & quantity of flow
Rental Prepay Credits
Credit returnable in payment for £1.00 of Rent
10,000 Credits sold for £8,000 give a 25%
absolute return (£2k profit / £8k investment)
If Rent is £10k pa Rate of Return is 25% pa
If Rent is £5k pa Rate of Return is 12.5% pa
If Rent is £2k pa Rate of Return is 5% pa etc etc

A Capital Partnership is not an Organisation

16/06/10

It does not own anything, do anything,
employ anyone, or contract with anyone

16/06/10

10
It is simply a framework agreement within
which the stakeholders self organise

16/06/10

11
Conventional property development is a
transaction model: developer as middleman

Capital Partnership offers a new
approach to financing and funding

16/06/10

15
Financing - for short/medium term, high
risk development of new assets

16/06/10

16
Funding - for long term, low risk use of
newly complete or existing assets

16/06/10

Financing : Land held by/transferred to a

Prepay Credits returnable in payment for
rentals are created and sold to investors

Example – Pool of 1,000 houses has
affordable rents of £4m pa

16/06/10

33
After (say) 25% for maintenance etc
£3m pa is available for funding costs

16/06/10

34
Debt: £3m pa will fund <£40m debt over
20 years at 5% compound interest

16/06/10

35
Prepay
20 Years' rent = 60m x £1.00 credits:
@ 50p raises £30m: Rate of Return = 100%/20
yrs = 5%pa
@ 66.6p raises £40m: RR = 50%/20yrs = 2.5%pa
25 Years' rent = 75m x £1.00 credits:
@ 50p raises £37.5m: Rate of Return = 100%/25
yrs = 4%pa
@ 66.6p raises £50m: RR = 50%/25yrs = 2%pa
Rental Credits – value proposition for
Investors not dissimilar to a REIT

16/06/10

37
Except that, crucially, Rental Credits are
returnable in payment for rent

16/06/10

38
Rental Credits – as rental levels rise or
fall rate of return increases or falls

16/06/10

39
A Rental Pool will have a 'common bond' –
geographic or otherwise

16/06/10

40
Occupiers are natural buyers and acquire
rental credits by paying rent in advance

16/06/10

41
Occupiers who care for their property may
receive 'Sweat Equity' rental credits

16/06/10

21st Century Problem
Retiring Generation
-'long' of Property and 'short' of Care for themselves and
their property
- poor returns on deposits (loans to banks)
Working Generation – burdened with bank property debt
Young Generation – long of Care but short of Property
21st Century Resolution
Retiring Generation
- exchange rental credits for care
- invests directly 'Peer to Asset' in rental credits
Working Generation – direct investment in rental credits
replaces bank property debt
Young Generation – care exchanged for rental credits
21st Century problems cannot be solved with 20th
century solutions.........
…....21st century solutions pre-date modern finance
Thank You
