Investment Strategy
The investment strategy by type of fund is as follows:
. Operating Funds
The investment strategy for operating fund(s) is to assure that anticipated cash ows are matched with
adequate investment liquidity. A secondary objective is to create a portfolio, which will experience minimum
volatility during economic cycles. These funds shall not have an investment with a stated maturity greater than
two years and the weighted average maturity shall not exceed eighteen months.
. Debt Service Funds
The investment strategy for debt service fund(s) is the assurance of investment liquidity to cover the debt
service obligations on the required payment date. Investments purchased shall not have a stated nal maturity
date which exceeds the corresponding debt service payment date. The weighted average maturity shall not
exceed one year.
. Reserve Funds
The investment strategy for reserve fund(s) is the assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt
service obligations not funded by debt service funds on the required payment date. Investment of reserve
funds are controlled by their ordinance, resolution or indenture, and Federal and State law. Bond documents
must be examined for each issue, for potential differences with this policy concerning investment instruments,
maximum maturity or average life restrictions, call dates or sinking fund redemptions, and applicable arbitrage
yields and rebate liability. Provisions contained in the bond documents will supersede provisions of this policy.
Weighted average maturity shall be incompliance with bond requirements, as stated.
Reserve funds will be invested using a more conservative approach than the current standard investment
strategy when arbitrage rebate rules require refunding excess earnings. All excess earnings received will be
segregated to allow a proper determination of interest income to be used in the arbitrage calculation.
. Special Project or Special Purpose Funds
