49 EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT Administrative Policies & Programs Policy Title: Investment Policy Original Approval Date: July 22, 2015 Last Revised: April 25, 2018 Policy No: 7.6 Page 1 of 15 Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the prudent investment of East Valley Water District (District) funds in conformance with California Government Code requirements. Funds will be managed to provide for daily cash flow requirements and to meet the objectives of this policy. Policy It is the policy of the District to invest public funds in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting reasonably anticipated operating needs, achieving a reasonable rate of return, and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. Scope This policy applies to the investment of all operating funds; it does not apply to investments held in trust for the District retirement plan, or post-employment health benefits, as these investments are subject to policies established by the plan trustees. Indenture agreements specify how bond proceeds will be invested, but generally they will be invested in securities permitted by this policy. Invested funds are accounted for, and are identified in, the District s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Objectives As specified in CGC , when investing and managing public funds, the primary objectives, in priority order, of the District s investment activities shall be: 1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the East Valley Water District shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio by mitigating certain risks. Some of those risks are: A. Interest Rate Risk the District will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates by:

50 EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT Administrative Policies & Programs Policy Title: Investment Policy Original Approval Date: July 22, 2015 Last Revised: April 25, 2018 Policy No: 7.6 Page 2 of 15 Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operation and avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity. Investing operating funds primarily in short-term securities money market mutual funds, or investment pools. B. Credit Risk the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations, will be reduced by: Limiting investments to higher rated securities as further described in this policy. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be reduced. 2. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the East Valley Water District to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. 3. Return on Investments: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns on investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives. Prudence The standard of prudence to be used by District officials involved in the investment program shall be the prudent investor standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent investor is explained in CGC Section , which states that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.
