Municipal Investment Program Foundation GFOA Model Investment Policy Safety:Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigatecredit risk and interest rate risk. Liquidity:The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools, which offer sameday liquidity for short-term funds. Yield:The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return, relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall generally be held until maturity, with the following exceptions: • A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

Three Main Portfolio Management Decisions • Interest Rate Risk: • 1year time horizon/cash flow need: • Cash • Two 6 month securities • One 1 year security • One 2 year security and sell it in 1 year • Credit Risk: Treasury, Agency, Corporate, ABS • Prepayment/Optionality Risk: Callables, MBS Legal vs Suitable Municipal investment portfolios are one of the only places in government where incremental revenues can be prudently generated without collecting taxes or fees; thus benefiting their citizenry.

A Suitable Level of Interest Rate (Budget) Risk • What is the appropriate average maturity or duration for an Operating Fund? • Between 1 and 2 years • An entity generally has to budget interest income 12 to 18 months in advance of the entity’s fiscal year end for the next fiscal year’s budget. • For example, if the portfolio has a 6 month average maturity, budgeting interest income is challenging due to the fluctuation of interest rates (portfolio turns over 3Xs). • If the portfolio has a 1.5 year average maturity, then the existing book yield gives a good approximation of next fiscal year’s interest income (portfolio turns over 1x).
