The Equalize Community Development Fund’s investment objectives are to provide current income, consistent with the preservation of capital, and to enable institutional Fund investors that are subject to regulatory examination for CRA compliance to claim favorable regulatory consideration of their investment under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (“CRA”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of loans that are eligible for CRA treatment as qualified investments, including 504 First Lien Loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate which represent the non-guaranteed portion of a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Section 504 transaction, loans originated under a number of U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (“USDA RD”) loan programs and loans issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”). Of course, a number of factors influence whether a particular bank will receive credit for its investment in the Fund, including the geographic location of loans held in the Fund, the bank’s record of CRA-related performance in its markets, and examiner discretion, However, investors in the Fund have historically received CRA credit for their investment in the Fund when it has been requested.
