7 Strong Performance for the District s Short Term and Bond Proceed Portfolios The District s Short Term Portfolio and TAN Portfolio out yielded the Merrill Lynch 3 month U.S. Treasury Bill Index by 62 and 276 basis points (0.62% and 2.76%), respectively. The bond proceed portfolios out yielded the Merrill Lynch 3 month U.S. Treasury Bill Index by 206 basis points (2.06%).

8 Portfolio Duration and Changes in Interest Rates PFM For a portfolio benchmarked against the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index, we recommend targeting a duration of 80% of the Benchmark s current duration of 1.80 years. The shorter portfolio duration will insulate the portfolio from market value losses if interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates of 271 basis points (2.71%) will move the 2-year Treasury note to its 10-year average of 3.59%.

12 FDIC Guarantees Bank Debt PFM Under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), announced on October 14, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will guarantee new senior unsecured bank debt issued through June 30, 2009 for maturities up to three years to help banks refinance maturing debt. According to the prospectuses of the guaranteed debt issues: This debt is guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The expiration date of the FDIC s guarantee is the earlier of the maturity date of the debt or June 30, As of April 7, 2009, more than $293 billion of FDIC-guaranteed debt had been issued. Deals are pending for debt to be issued by many of the larger regional banks. Moody s, Fitch and S&P will rate debt issued under the FDIC s TLGP AAA. TLGP debt that has already come to market has carried significant yield advantage over Treasuries and Agencies at issue, and has performed strongly in the secondary market PFM Asset Management LLC 9

13 Government Actions Improve Liquidity PFM The TED Spread, the difference in yield between 3-month LIBOR and the 3-month Treasury bill, is an indicator of banks willingness to lend to one another. Since October, the TED spread has declined significantly, following Federal Government action to increase liquidity in the market. 5.0% 4.5% 4.0% 3.5% Difference in Yield Between 3-Month LIBOR and 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill April 1, 2008 to April 21, % 2.5% 2.0% 0.96% as of 4/21/ % 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% Apr 08 May 08 Jun 08 Jul 08 Aug 08 Sep 08 Oct 08 Nov 08 Dec 08 Jan 09 Feb 09 Mar 09 Apr 09 Source: Bloomberg 2009 PFM Asset Management LLC 10

14 The FOMC Cuts Rates PFM 6.0% The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) took unprecedented action at its meeting on December 16, The FOMC cut its target interest rate to the lowest level in history, actually setting a range for the rate, between 0.00% and 0.25%. At the meeting on March 18, 2009, the FOMC maintained the target range of 0.00% to 0.25%, stating that, economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.

21 Executive Summary PORTFOLIO STRATEGY During the quarter, market yields continued to hover near their historical lows. The White House, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury Department worked in concert in attempting to bring the U.S. economy out of recession. On February 13, 2009 Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act a nearly $1 trillion economic stimulus plan. In March, the Fed announced plans to purchase up to $300 billion of longer-term U.S. Treasury securities with the goal of influencing longterm rates, especially mortgage rates. During the quarter U.S. Treasury yields increased slightly from the record lows reached in January of The increase in yields pushed the Merrill Lynch 1-3 year U.S. Treasury benchmark returns negative for both January and February. The average yield of a 2-Year U.S. Treasury Notes over the quarter was 0.89%; this is 2.71% lower than the historical ten year average of 3.60%. The U.S. Treasury yield curve is steeply positive the yields on longer dated Treasuries increased during the quarter due to an increase in Treasury issuance to fund government stimulus programs. As U.S. Treasuries move toward their long term averages over the intermediate term, they are likely to underperform other security types. The markets reacted to each new economic recovery plan in a capricious fashion. Market yields, which continued to trade at or near historical lows, were volatile throughout the quarter. For instance, yields on the 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note traded at a quarterly low of 0.71% on January 20 th, reached a high of 1.09% on February 26 th, and ended the quarter at 0.80%. During the quarter, the yield on the 2-year note moved 10% or greater from its previous market close on nine occasions compared to 41 trading days over the past ten years. The District s Investment Portfolio is of high credit quality and maintains adequate liquidity. The portfolio is invested entirely in Federal Agency, U.S. Treasury, Corporate Notes and FDIC guaranteed corporate securities. The securities in the portfolio are allocated among high quality issuers rated AAA, TSY and AA. FDIC guaranteed corporate debt carries the full faith and credit of the United States government and are therefore rated AAA. The portfolio continued to overweight Federal Agencies. The yield spread between 2-year Agencies and Treasuries narrowed considerably by mid-quarter, which helped the portfolio, but then widened from that point to end the quarter nearly unchanged. However, the portfolio s overweighting to Agencies provided an income advantage to the portfolio, which allowed the portfolio to outperform its Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index by 30 basis points (0.30%). The portfolio returned 0.39% for the quarter versus the benchmarks return of 0.09%. We were able to realize $118,554 in gains by selling Treasury securities and swapping into Federal Agencies. We will continue to monitor the economy and markets in order to take advantage of additional swap opportunities in the future. With yields trading at record low levels at the beginning of the quarter, the chance of a sharp increase in rates outweighed the probability of rates decreasing further. With this in mind, we employed a strategy of allowing the portfolio s duration to drift shorter during the quarter with the objective of insulating the portfolio s principle from market value losses caused by rate increases. At quarter end, the portfolio s duration stood at 1.47 years, which is 84% of the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury index. The benchmark ended the quarter at 1.76 years. We will continue our strategy of overweighting the Federal Agency sector. With a strong implicit backing of Agency debt by the government, Federal Agencies continue to add value over U.S. Treasury securities. The spread between 2-year Agencies and Treasuries ended the quarter at 67 basis points (0.67%) this stands at almost double the average spread of 38 basis points (0.38%) over the past ten years. Additionally, we will continue to under-weight non-fdic insured corporate securities. However, we will continue to use floating and fixed rate FDIC insured corporates for portfolio diversification. Even with the numerous plans put forth by the U.S. and foreign governments, economists are predicting a slow and lengthy recovery. Federal government spending will take months, if not years, to reach full effect, while consumer spending is likely to remain dormant for a long period. With this, it appears that the Fed will not change the Fed Funds target rate from its current target of 0.00 to 0.25%. Inflationary pressures have been low, which has allowed the Fed to maintain the target federal funds rate at its current level. However, with the increases in governmental spending for stimulus programs, inflationary pressures may rise in the near term. The Short Term and TAN portfolios had quarterly average yield to maturity at costs of 0.80% and 2.94%, respectively compared to 0.18% for the benchmark Merrill Lynch 3 month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Also the bond proceed portfolios had a weighted quarterly average yield to maturity at cost of 2.24%. Short-term yields continue to trade at historically-low levels. During the quarter, we continued to overweight Federal Agency discount notes, while also diversifying among short-term FDIC insured commercial paper. These securities added value over U.S. Treasuries, which allowed the portfolios to outperform its Merrill Lynch 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill index by between 62 and 276 basis points. We will continue our strategy of overweighting the Federal Agency sector. With a strong implicit backing of Agency debt by the government, Federal Agencies continue to add value over U.S. Treasury securities. These securities provide adequate liquidity while also adding a slight yield advantage over U.S. Treasury securities. PFM Asset Management LLC Section B - 1
