  4. Challenges in achieving greater community investments • Different investor types have different return expectations, making it impossible to market a “one size fits all” community investing product; • Investors lack knowledge about community-oriented investment products; and • There is a shortage of community investment products that have the scale appropriate for larger institutional investors.

  5. Increasing CI Investment • Continue pursuing innovative community investment products in new asset classes for both institutional and retail investors in order to reach communities with real needs. • Identify the investor type and tailor product to their needs, distribution channel and risk profile. • Centralization of information and consistent messaging about impact and returns.
