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 $5 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.

Impact Customization

Impact By Geography

Investments targeted to geographies can be as narrowly defined as a county. Investors meeting specific minimum requirements can choose multiple geographies within different counties and/or states with the investments supporting a variety of CCM’s impact themes. Hover over a state to see our current investment impact holdings as of 12/31/2025.*

*Impact by geography is calculated using the current face value of individual securities (original par value minus any principal paydowns, if applicable) and reflects the locations positively impacted within the holdings. Percentages are based on total portfolio exposure, including cash holdings. Impact numbers are approximate.
