3 WELCOME & PURPOSE OF CALL Status Quo In the past, the Treasurer s Office has produced one annual and publicly available financial report which contained a simple overview of the city s investments over the previous year. Transparency & Accountability During the Treasurer s 77 visits to Chicago s 77 neighborhoods, the greatest recommendation by residents across the City was that their financial steward provide more transparency and accountability. Best Practices As the primary investment manager for the City of Chicago, the Treasurer seeks to be held as accountable as any other investment management firm is to their investors. This call is shaped after some reporting done by the nation s largest investment managers and public companies. Action This first-ever Quarterly Earnings Call for the City of Chicago is only a first step in financial reporting and performance tracking of the City s investment portfolio. The call will provide overviews of the global and national economies as well as Chicago's current fiscal landscape and balance sheet. A quarterly scorecard on the Treasurer s progress will also be published online at chicagocitytreasurer.com 3

32 CTO ADVANTAGE Under the CTO Advantage Program, or shared services partnership, the Treasurer s Office portfolio managers oversee sister agency portfolios with the goal of a higher return on investments The collaboration allows sister agencies to focus their assets and attention on their core mission while taking advantage of the Treasurer s Office economy of scale to enhance services and ultimately save taxpayer dollars Advantages to customized shared services: ü Investment policy consultation and review ü Leveraged custody relationship ü Leveraged Money Market Portal ü Municipal Depository Banks ü Fixed-Income Investments 32
33 CTO ADVANTAGE: Chicago City Park District (CPD) The CPD/CTO IGA allows CTO to manage the day-to-day operations of the Park District s management portfolio and the Park District to maintain ultimate decision-making power over their investments. CPD has achieved greater net return on investments when compared to 3 rd party alternatives. Savings: Over $100,000 in management fees annually. CPD has achieved greater net return on investments when compared to prior in-house management. Savings: Over $250,000 total annually in 1-2 full time employees 33
34 CTO Advantage CTO recommended changes to the Park District s investment policy which resulted in increased commercial paper flexibility and additional earnings. On April 14 th, 2015, The Board of Commissioners of the Public Building Commission (PBC) and Chicago City Treasurer Kurt Summers announced an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) was approved that will allow the Office of the City Treasurer to provide financial management services with a goal of boosting PBC's return on investment for its bond portfolio. 34
