<br />municipalities, foreign and domestic governments and their agencies, and investment trusts. [Referenced

<br />
<br />JOINT POWERS AUTHORITIES (JPAs): JPAs are legally created entities that allow two or more public
<br />agencies to jointly exercise common powers. Forming such entities permits public agencies with the means
<br />to provide services more efficiently and in a cost-effective manner such as JPA investment pools. The Joint
<br />Exercise of Powers Act, as codified in California Government Code Section 6500, governs JPAs. Under the
<br />Act, JPAs are restricted to use by public agencies only. However, the term public agency is defined very
<br />broadly. A public agency can include, but is not limited to, the federal government, the state or state
<br />departments, local agencies, mutual water companies, public districts and recognized Indian tribes.

<br />
<br />LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF): A voluntary program created by statute in 1977 as an
<br />investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. Local agencies may participate
<br />in the state’s portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the
<br />Treasurer's Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. LAIF is part of the Pooled Money
<br />Investment Account (PMIA). The PMIA began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money
<br />Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State
<br />Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller. The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides
<br />oversight for LAIF. The Board consists of five members as designated by statute. The State Treasurer, as
<br />Chairman, or his designated representative appoints two members qualified by training and experience in the
<br />field of investment or finance, and two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business
<br />managers employed by any county, city or local district or municipal corporation of this state. [Referenced

<br />MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future transactions between the
<br />parties to repurchase or reverse repurchases a security that establishes each party's rights in the transactions.
<br />A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer-lender to liquidate the

<br />MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.
