Investments

At C.A. Bancorp, we believe that adding alternative assets to a traditional asset mix is an excellent way to bolster potential returns while lowering overall portfolio volatility. We aim to generate a long-term, annual return of 15% to 25% on each investment, while carefully managing risk.

We focus our resources in the small- and mid-cap industrials, infrastructure, real estate and financial services sectors - four areas that offer strong cash flows, tangible assets and some of the most dynamic investment opportunities.
