Customization

Within our fixed income portfolios, customization allows investors to direct their capital to support specific geographies (also known as place-based impact investing), impact themes, or impact initiatives.

Customization can take place in our flagship bond fund (CCM Community Impact Bond Fund Institutional Shares) with a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000 (may be lower on advisor platforms) or in a separately managed account with a minimum initial investment of $10 million. Clients can customize their investments using our impact customization form. Investments that direct capital to geographies can target at the county, state, or regional level. Investments that direct capital to impact themes can target one or more of CCM’s impact themes (click here for full impact theme descriptions). Investments that direct capital to impact initiatives can support Minority CARES or First-Time Homebuyer.
