Mission Related Investing (MRI)
Mission related investing allows investors to dramatically impact their mission without solely relying on grants, and without sacrificing financial performance. Mission related investing is the practice of using financial investments to advance a specific mission and to earn a financial return. Mission related investing proactively seeks investments based on their potential to advance progress and deliver financial returns.
Community Capital Management actively manages mission related investment fixed income portfolios which are designed to provide investors with competitive returns and to make a positive community impact. The community and economic development benefits of each investment are analyzed as rigorously as the financial characteristics within the portfolios.
One of the benefits in Community Capital's mission related investing investment approach is the ability to customize a market-rate, fixed income portfolio that can be geographically targeted and support mission related initiatives. Community Capital focuses exclusively on high quality bonds (rated A or better at purchase) issued to promote community initiatives that typically benefit low- to moderate-income and minority families and communities.
