Established in 1998, ICC has provided nearly $1.5 billion in financing directed to benefit low-income families and communities. Projects include affordable multifamily housing, community healthcare facilities, childcare centers and other community facilities serving families and communities in 38 states plus the District of Columbia. ICC was founded by a consortium of insurance companies to facilitate investments in projects that specifically benefit low-income families and communities.
“I am excited to have two high-quality professionals with the investing expertise and commitment to impact investing that we have found in Mike and Matt,” said Brenner. “ICC is implementing a five-year strategic plan to deliver quality investments in scale to institutional investors seeking to add impact to their investment portfolios and we are excited to add Mike and Matt to the management team that will drive our success.”
Lohmeier has built an impressive track record in the impact investing space during his 20-year career. As Managing Director for Wespath Benefits and Investments, Lohmeier oversaw all aspects of the organization’s $21 billion investment portfolio of public equity, fixed income, real estate and positive social purpose (PSP) investments. He was instrumental in growing the PSP program, which was developed to promote affordable housing and community development for disadvantaged communities while delivering competitive returns, to over $2 billion during his tenure. Lohmeier will be responsible for developing and executing ICC’s investment strategy, including managing existing investor relationships, developing new investors and structuring new investment funds.
Berg brings to ICC a wealth of experience in finance and commercial real estate. As an Associate at Dechert LLP, Berg advised investment banks, hedge funds, private equity funds and insurance companies on nationwide commercial real estate acquisition and dispositions. ICC has been a leading innovator in securitizing affordable housing mortgages, and Berg’s experience at Dechert advising CMBS securitizations significantly expands ICC’s ability to deliver capital in scale to address the critical need for affordable housing and community investment in our country.
