Ron Homer - Access Capital Strategies - RBC Global Asset Management

Access Capital is a pioneer in the creation of secondary markets for Community Development Investments. Founded in 1997 and acquired by RBC GAM-US in 2008, Access Capital actively manages $670 million in community investments located in 48 states and 2 territories as of September 30, 2013. Our core investment approach is to create specialized mortgages and asset-backed securities that support low- and moderate-income homebuyers, affordable housing, education, health care and job creation in underserved communities. We believe a well-crafted, economically targeted investment strategy can build stronger communities and deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns.
