Investment Objectives • Invest in geographically specific, private placement debt securities located in the portions of the United States designated by Investors • Generate a competitive return relative to higher balance mortgage investments • Only invest in AAA/agency credit quality debt securities targeted to support community development activities including: • Single-family affordable housing • Multi-family affordable housing • Small business lending • Job creation • Community Health Centers
Investment Philosophy We believe that superior investment results in a community investment fixed income security portfolio can be achieved by: • Utilizing a proprietary model to identify the investments that represent the best value • Relying on a micro view of the fixed income market • Adhering to risk-controlled active management • Top-performing total return managers take too much risk in pursuing larger returns and enhanced index managers leave too much return on the table • Tactics: • Strategic allocation to spread sectors • Utilize option-adjusted spread (OAS) to identify value • Broad diversification to control risk • Call-protected assets to manage convexity • Focus on consistent series of value-added decisions – no big “bets”
