19 Investment Policy Scope Objectives Reporting Requirements Standards of Care/ Safekeeping and Custody Investment Parameters Authorized and Suitable Investments 19
20 Investment Policy Adoption and Review Have a statement of adoption Have a statement of review Policy 20
21 Best Practice Investment Considerations Incorporate Policy Objectives FIRST PRIORITY SAFETY = Asset Allocation & Diversification LIQUIDITY = Cash Flow & Liquidity Needs SECOND PRIORITY RETURN = Market Risk Exposure, Duration 21
22 How benchmarks can be utilized to incorporate the policy objectives? Creates guidelines for liquidity, safety and return Provides accountability to the decisions Provides for the ability to communicate clearly within your organization Each benchmark is specific to the profile of your organization in regards to safety, liquidity and return 22
23 The Utilization of a Benchmark as Part of that Process and Policy Why use benchmarks? Use to measure and compare actual to targets Compare performance More importantly: Guides your decision making More accountable to decisions Supports your plan 23
24 What is a Benchmark? A standard used as a comparison or measure. Define the following benchmarks for your portfolio: Liquidity Benchmark Safety Benchmark Return Benchmark 24
25 Addressing Liquidity- Benchmark What amount of cash do you need to have on hand or keep under six months in maturity. Pull up historical cash balances for the last 3 years. Liquidity fund must stay in short instruments such as the State pool, CDs and Money Market Instruments, typically under six months. 25
26 Reviewing Historical Cash Flow 26
27 Reviewing Historical Cash Flow Average $141,734, $147,627, $138,927, Max $153,923, $160,599, $146,455, Min $135,588, $140,310, $132,159, Largest Drawdown $6,243, $20,289, $20,591,
28 Liquidity versus Core Fund Liquidity Fund Core Fund 28
29 Benchmark #1- Liquidity Liquidity Ranges are developed as the benchmark to manage expectations. Total Average Balance $140,000,000 Total Low Average Balance $120,000,000 Total Maximum Average: : $160,,000,000 Liquidity Range: $20,000,000 - $60,000,000 Investment Target : $100,000,000 If liquidity balances are outside of these ranges then cash flows should be checked 29
30 Addressing Safety The policy should constrain your portfolio. Just because you are allowed to buy it by state statute doesn t mean you should. Know what your are investing in Establish the diversification 30
31 Safety: Asset Allocation and Diversification Credit Risk: The risk associated with the failure of a security to pay. Interest Rate Risk: The risk of change in market value when rates rise. (Utilize duration to manage risk). 31
32 Addressing Safety- Benchmark Which allowable securities present credit risk to your entity? In this current market, probably all of them: Treasury Agency Bank Deposits Commercial Paper Municipal Bonds Diversification is the key tool to manage this but what should your diversification targets look like? 32
33 Benchmark # 2 - Safety Issuer Specific Name Policy Benchmark Current Holdings Current Strategy US Treasury 100% 10% 7% Underweight US Agency 100% 75% 62% Overweight FHLB 50% 20% 24% Overweight FHLMC 50% 10% 10% Neutral FNMA 50% 10% 8% Underweight FFCB 50% 10% 12% Overweight Bank Deposits CD s 25% 10% 14% Neutral Municipal Bonds 20% 10% 10% Neutral State LGIP 100% 10% 6% Underweight STRUCTURE TYPE Non- Callable N/A 70% 68% Underweight Callable N/A 30% 32% Overweight 33
34 Addressing Return Expectations Should a priority be return since it is an objective? Do you have a responsibility to achieve market rates of return? How do you determine the appropriate return goals Is your neighbor? Is it the pool? Can you use your own benchmark? What should you use to measure? Liquidity component will earn short money rates but how you invest the core fund matters.. 34
35 Returns Benefits of Diversified Maturity Structure Assumptions Current Portfolio Size: $100,000,000 Liquid Portion (25%) $25,000,000 Core Portion (75%) $75,000,000 Blended Portfolio Duration: 0.90 years Historical Average Rates for last 10 years Liquid:.15% Core:.75% Benchmark US Treasury 0-3 year Duration: 1.45yrs 12 Months Earnings Based on Changing Rate Tomorrow Liquid/Core Rates All Liquid Liquid/Core Interest Only Interest and Mark Change Stay the Same $150, $600, $600, % 0.60% 0.60% Increase 100 Bp $1,150, $1,037, $288, % 1.225% 0.288% 35
36 The Core Fund- Facts Designated investment component of the operating fund that can manage the risk and return of the portfolio in various market conditions. Within the core fund, the policy issues of safety and return can be refined and incorporated with a safety benchmark and return benchmark. The largest contributor to return is average maturity or duration over time. 36
37 Benchmark #3 - Return Public funds typically use a total return benchmark and a yield benchmark: Established Market Benchmark for Risk and Return Example: US Treasury 0-3 year Duration 1.45 Yield benchmark for overall portfolio can be the state pool or a rolling 6 month bill 37
38 Strategy Utilizing Market Benchmarks to control risk and return STEPS: 1. Evaluate return expectations 2. Determine acceptable risk tolerance 3. Establish appropriate benchmark 4. Establish duration targets 5. Determine guidelines Asset Allocation 6. Monitor and report performance 7. Rebalance the portfolio 38
39 Definition of Duration It is a tool that fixed income managers use to approximate the price change in a portfolio or a security given a change in rates. It is the Sum of the Present Values of Future cash flows Facts: Longer Maturity Longer Duration Higher the Coupon Shorter Duration Higher Reinvestment Rates Shorter Duration It is a measure of time and will always be shorter than the Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) Calculation = Duration * Market Value*rate Change = Market sensitivity 39
40 Strategy Utilizing Market Benchmarks to manage Risk and Return Expectations STEPS: 1. Evaluate return expectations 2. Determine acceptable risk tolerance 3. Establish appropriate benchmark 4. Establish duration targets 5. Determine guidelines Asset Allocation 6. Monitor and report performance 7. Rebalance the portfolio 40
