Established in 1998, Community Capital Management, Inc. is an institutional fixed income manager and a registered investment advisor based in Weston, Florida. The firm was co-founded by President/Chief Investment Officer Todd Cohen and Chief Impact Investment Officer Barbara VanScoy. Todd and Barbara created the firm to capitalize on their belief that portfolios of government-related securities -- that are primarily excluded from the major bond indices -- could produce competitive returns while also promoting community development. Significant demand existed for this type of strategy as it helps to satisfy a bank/thrift's requirements under the Investment Test portion of the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") Exam. |
