Description
For many investors, community investing has been limited to cash equivalents and below-market debt instruments. This session will showcase a full spectrum of market and below-market community investment options to include a range of market-rate investment vehicles in cash equivalents, targeted fixed income securities, as well as public and private equity. Speakers will describe investment products that offer market returns, liquidity, and diversification, and give clear examples of how those vehicles support social goals.
