return relative to
the risk being assumed. Despite this, a Portfolio Manager may trade to recognize a loss from time to time to
achieve a perceived relative value based on its potential to enhance the total return of the portfolio.
Investments should be made subject to the cash flow needs and such cash flows are- subject- to_revisiona -as
market conditions and the City' s needs change. However, when the invested funds are needed in whole or in
part for the purpose originally intended or for more optimal investments, the Finance Director or Investment
Advisor(s) may sell the investment at the then -prevailing market price and place the proceeds into the proper
account at the City' s custodian.
IV. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS, MATURITY & LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS, AND
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
It is the City' s desire for all accounts to be fully invested; however, any funds in the custodial account not
otherwise invested will be " swept" each night into a fully collateralized repurchase agreement or institutional
money market fund.
The following matrix identifies the portfolio investment requirements and allocation limits on security types,
issuers, and maturities as established by the City. The Maximum Allocation Limit and Maximum Issuer Limit
apply to the City' s comprehensive portfolio (i.e. all of the City' s investments covered under this policy); they do
not apply separately to each of the portfolio types. The average duration of the funds managed by any one
external portfolio manager on behalf of the City as part of the portfolio(s) shall not exceed 1. 2 times the
selected benchmark.
The Finance Director or Investment Advisor(s) shall have the option to further restrict investment percentages
from time to time based on market conditions, risk, and diversification investment strategies. The percentage
allocations requirements for investment types and issuers are calculated based on the market value of each
investment. The allocation limits and security types do not apply to the investment of debt proceeds, which are
governed by the debt covenant included in the debt instrument.
Investments not listed in this Policy are prohibited.
