7 The Business Cycle We are here 6
8 Interest Rates Will Rise 7
9 Pace of Hikes Will Make a Difference Quick Fed Tightening Slow Fed Tightening Fed raised target rate 3.00% in a 1 year period (February 1994 February 1995) Fed raised target rate 4.25% over 2 years (June 2004 June 2006) 8
10 Major Considerations for Next Interest Rate Hike Unemployment rate and inflation Next Fed Chair: Janet Yellen??? GDP growth Status of any monetary stimulus Debt ceiling and sequester Impacts of Quick Tightening Large market value losses over shorter timeframe Capture higher rates more quickly Rapid rise in inflation Possible recovery killer due to high cost of credit Impacts of Slow Tightening Smaller market value losses over extended timeframe Measured rise in rates Slower rise in inflation Possible investment bubbles 9
11 Strategies for Existing Portfolios 10
12 Rising Interest Rates A Double Edged Sword Market value of portfolio falls: Reporting unrealized losses Potentially taking realized losses Negative periods of total return Higher investment and reinvestment yields: Increased investment income Potential steepening of the yield curve 11
13 The Bad News: Unrealized Market Value Losses Prices and Market Values Interest Rates Interest Rates Prices and Market Values Portfolio size: $20 million* Assuming instantaneous increase in rates Rates +0.25% Rates +0.50% Rates +0.75% Market Value Change (90,461) (180,923) (271,384) Market Value Post Rate Increase $19,909,539 $19,819,077 $19,728,616 *Based on sample portfolio with duration of 1.80 years. 12
14 What to Do With a Portfolio Full of Unrealized Market Value Losses? Option 1: Don t. Do. Anything. Pro: Securities will mature at par and you won t have any realized losses There s NO crying in fixedincome investment!!!! Con: Don t take advantage of available higher yields and increased earnings Option 2: Evaluate the portfolio for swap opportunities. Pro: Add higher yielding securities to portfolio and achieve higher earnings Con: Will realize a loss in the portfolio on security sale There is ALWAYS a cost : opportunity vs. initial loss 13
15 Now, the Good News: Reinvestment Opportunities Sometimes selling at a loss pays off Trade Date Trade Type Security Maturity Par Yield at market Yield at Cost G/L on Sale 6/18/13 Sell FNMA Notes 5/21/18 $5,350, % 1.06% ($62,820) 6/18/13 Buy Chevron Corp Notes 6/24/18 $5,210, % 1.72% - 14

22 Net Asset Value at Market Long-term Bond Funds Will Be Negatively Impacted When Rates Move Higher Funds with longer duration and weighted average maturity are subject to greater variability Change in Net Asset Value % % -.50% Interest rate risk is asymmetrical in the current low rate environment Days +.50% % % 21
23 Strategy: Evaluate Options for Establishing a Portfolio Comparison of Strategies Objectives Investment Mandate/ Policy Risk Flexibility Control Performance Portfolio Customized to entity's desired strategy and policy constraints Credit criteria, maximum maturity, and duration determined by entity Portfolio can be restructured to changing cash flow needs and market conditions Entity maintains ownership of asset; held in own name Managed to benefit the entity through specific transaction and individual security selection Overnight Pool / Long-term Bond Fund Strategy determined by fund s investment criteria Credit criteria, maximum maturity, and duration may exceed entity's tolerance for risk Overnight pool fully liquid Bond fund offers limited flexibility to meet specialized requirements Own shares of fund, assets not held in entity's name Yield affected by deposits and withdraws of other fund participants 22
24 When is the Best Time to Invest Liquid Funds? Dollar-cost averaging: Measured approach to investing funds Diffuses interest rate risk by spreading investments over time $ DON T CALL THE MARKET! Bond Movement 23

27 Communication with Managers and Elected Officials 26
28 Clear Communication of Investment Strategy Ensure that major tenets of investment program are conveyed to managers/elected officials: Internal controls Investment policy/risk tolerances Overall investment strategy Tailor communications to audience: Board Officials: Big-picture, 30,000 foot summaries Manager: Detailed, fact-filled, yet concise reports Be prepared to explain: New market conditions Market value losses (unrealized/realized) Initial losses on sales of securities, but over all benefit Importance of long-term approach 27

30 Summary Interest rates will rise. When? How fast? There are opportunities for your investment program: Maturity management Evaluation of sectors Understanding opportunity costs Communication with board officials and managers is key. Best time to invest was yesterday. Next best time to invest is today. Worst time to start investing is tomorrow. 29
