CCMNX Investment Objective and Strategy

Ccm Alternative Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Community Capital Trust.

Investment objective

The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide (1) a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and (2) reduced correlation to conventional stock and bond markets while considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors .

Principal investment strategy

"The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by utilizing a multi-strategy approach to portfolio construction that attempts to generate a high level of current income and an absolute (or positive) return in various market cycles by employing strategies that exploit disparities or inefficiencies in markets. At the same time, the Fund seeks to provide lower correlation to the traditional stock and bond markets by utilizing various asset allocation or hedging strategies designed to reduce such correlation. The Fund's goals are to seek to provide: (1) Securities and Exchange Commission (""SEC"") 30-day yield (standardized yield) greater than 3-month Treasury bills plus 4%; (2) volatility (standard deviation) between 2% and 4%; and (3) correlation ranging from 0.0 to 0.5 to the bond market (as represented by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index) and 0.0 to 0.5 to the equity market (as represented by the S&P 500 Index).

There can be no assurances that the Fund will achieve any of these goals. These goals can be changed at any time without shareholder approval. The Fund may employ a variety of investment strategies, including: (i) directional or tactical strategies, such as long/short equity, long/short credit and global tactical asset allocation; and (ii) event driven strategies, such as special situations and merger arbitrage. Asset and sector allocations are based on the current macro-economic environment and the potential risks inherent in each sector. The Fund implements these strategies by investing globally, primarily in developed market countries, in a broad range of asset classes, securities and other investments. The Fund may invest in equity securities (primarily dividend-paying equity securities) of all types and capitalization ranges, including but not limited to common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants; investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities, including but not limited to notes, bonds, asset-backed securities, debentures and convertible securities, issued by corporations and governments (including municipal governments); currencies; commodities; investment companies, including closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds; and exchange-traded notes.

Non-investment grade fixed income securities (commonly known as ""junk bonds"") are rated BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings, or have a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (""NRSRO"") (or, if unrated are determined by the Fund's investment advisor to be of comparable quality at the time of investment). With respect to the fixed income portion of its portfolio, the Fund has no limit with respect to its portfolio maturity or duration and will not attempt to maintain any pre-set average portfolio duration. The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying security, for speculation (taking a position in the hope of increasing returns), to manage interest rate risk and currency risk, or as part of a hedging strategy (attempting to reduce risk by offsetting one investment position with another).

These derivative transactions will involve futures contracts, options and swaps, including options on futures and swaps. The Fund may engage in short-selling for speculation or for hedging purposes. A short sale involves selling a security the Fund does not own. The amount the Fund could lose on a short sale is theoretically unlimited (as compared to a long position, i.e. a security the Fund owns, where the maximum loss is the amount invested). When the Fund engages in short-selling for hedging purposes, it is attempting to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of one or more of its portfolio securities. Investment decisions are based on fundamental market factors, such as yield and credit quality differences among bonds as well as demand and supply trends. Investment decisions are also based on technical factors such as price momentum, market sentiment, and supply or demand imbalances.

The Fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust its average maturity or quality, to shift assets into better yielding securities, or to alter sector exposure. The principal strategies employed by the Fund, together with notable sub-categories, are summarized below: Directional or Tactical Strategies: Directional or tactical trading strategies utilize market movements, trends or inconsistencies when picking securities across a variety of markets. These strategies have a greater exposure to the fluctuations of the overall market than market neutral strategies. These types of strategies may include: ? Long/Short Equity: This strategy combines core long holdings of equities with short sales of stocks, stock indices, or derivatives related to the equity markets. The strategy attempts to generate income and long-term capital appreciation by developing and actively managing equity portfolios that include both long and short positions.

? Long/Short Credit: This strategy seeks exposure to credit-sensitive securities, long and/or short, based upon credit analysis of issuers and securities, and credit market views. ? Global Tactical Asset Allocation: This strategy attempts to exploit short-term mispricings among a global set of assets. The strategy focuses on general movements in the market rather than on the performance of individual securities. Event Driven Strategies: Event driven trading strategies seek to earn excess return through the purchase and/or sale of securities based on anticipated outcomes of company specific or transaction specific situations, such as spin-offs, mergers and acquisitions, liquidations, reorganizations, bankruptcies, recapitalizations and share buybacks. These types of strategies may include: ?

Special Situations: This strategy seeks to profit by capturing discrepancies in valuation between the current market price of a security and its expected future value based on the occurrence of a corporate restructuring, reorganization or significant alteration in the company's strategy or product mix. ? Merger Arbitrage: This strategy seeks to profit by taking advantage of differences between the current market price of a security and its expected future value based on the occurrence of a merger. ? Capital Structure Arbitrage: This strategy attempts to take advantage of a pricing inefficiency between two or more securities of the same company. For example, the Fund may buy a senior debt instrument that its investment advisor believes is undervalued, while simultaneously shorting a subordinated debt instrument of the same issuer that is believed to be overvalued.

The Fund's investment advisor allocates the Fund's assets to the underlying investment strategies based on its analysis of the investment strategy, current market conditions and perceived investment opportunities."
