10 Summary of Bernanke s Testimony On July 21 and 22, Chairman Bernanke appeared before the House Financial Services Committee to deliver his semiannual Monetary Policy Report. General Economy: Past few months have seen some notable improvements: Interest rate spreads in short-term money markets continued to narrow Investors returning to private credit markets and corporate bond issuance strong Equity prices recovered to roughly their levels at end of last year Banks raised significant amounts of new capital Possibility that recent stabilization will prove transient Monetary Policy: Economic conditions likely to warrant maintaining Federal Funds rate at exceptionally low levels for extended period Fiscal Policy: Addressing fiscal problems requires difficult choices, but postponing will only make those choices more difficult Strong commitment to fiscal sustainability is needed, or we risk having neither financial stability nor durable economic growth Regulatory Reform: Stronger capital and liquidity standards for financial firms Extension of oversight to all financial organizations that could pose significant risk to overall financial system Enhanced protections for consumers and investors in their financial dealings Improved coordination across countries in supervision of internationally active firms 7

33 Brevard County School District Investment Report - Quarter Ended June 30, 2009 Executive Summary PORTFOLIO RECAP The United States remains mired in its longest lasting recession since the Great Depression. Most economists believe that intermediate term growth will be sluggish at best. This recession is not unique to the United States; most developing countries continue to experience negative growth. For instance, the European Commission estimates that all but one European Union member state will experience negative growth for Economists are predicting that World GDP will contract by 1.5% in The School District s portfolios have performed extremely well, especially considering the current state of the market: the portfolios are well diversified among U.S. Treasury, federal agency, and commercial paper securities. The Self Insurance Portfolio s total return for the quarter exceeded the return of its benchmark Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index by 50 basis points (0.50%) unannualized. The Health Insurance Portfolio s total return for the quarter exceeded the return of its benchmark Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index by 68 basis points (0.68%) unannualized. The Capital and Operating Short Term Portfolios weighted quarterly average Yield to Maturity at Cost out yielded the Yield to Maturity of its benchmark Merrill Lynch 3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index by 71 basis points (0.71%). The portfolios comply with the School District s investment policy and Florida investment statutes. During these uncertain times, we continue to focus on safety and liquidity in the portfolios. The Self Insurance Fund and Health Insurance Fund Portfolios out-performance was achieved through a disciplined, long-term investment approach. During the quarter, we took advantage of changes between sectors and interest rates to lock in realized gains and to pick up additional return for the portfolio. We managed the portfolio s duration in response to changing interest rates. At the start of the quarter, with interest rates near historical lows, we maintained a defensive posture with the portfolio s duration positioned short of the target duration. When yields rose sharply later in the quarter, we extended the portfolio s duration closer to the benchmark s duration. This duration extension benefitted the portfolio when interest rates fell at the end of the quarter. We utilized the steepness of the yield curve to employ a roll-down investment strategy to manage the portfolio s duration; selling shorter maturing securities before their maturity and investing the proceeds farther out on the yield curve. We managed sector allocations to take advantage of changes in relative value between sectors. Earlier in the year when the yield differential (spread) between federal agency and U.S. Treasury securities was well above historical averages, over-weighted the portfolio s allocation to federal agency securities. When yield spreads narrowed significantly during the second quarter, we sold federal agencies to capture their appreciated value and purchased Treasury securities, which on a relative basis offered good value. The Self Insurance Fund and Health Insurance Fund portfolios strong performance during the second quarter was achieved by s analysis of and quick reaction to short-lived dislocations in the market over the past two quarters, which arose from such items as new investment types (i.e. FDIC-guaranteed corporates), Federal Reserve interventions, and the overall high degree of economic uncertainty. While recent economic news has been less negative, there is no clear evidence that the economy has begun its recovery. At its June meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee reiterated their position that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period. We are unlikely to see any consistent significant change in rates until there are clear signs of economic recovery. We will maintain the disciplined long-term focus to managing the Self Insurance Fund and Health Insurance Fund portfolios, which has safely provided the School District s portfolios with strong long-term returns relative to the performance benchmark. Compared to the start of the first quarter when we had shortened the portfolio s duration to around 85% of the 1-3 year benchmark, we will start the third quarter with a more neutral duration target that is around 90-95% of the benchmark s duration. This target should help the Self Insurance Fund and Health Insurance Fund portfolios returns to remain in line with the benchmark. We will maintain well diversified portfolio. Over the past quarter, federal agencies lost much of their yield advantage relative to Treasuries. While the additional yield offered by federal agencies over Treasuries remains low, we will likely maintain a higher allocation to Treasury securities than in the recent Asset Management LLC Section B - 1
