The ultimate investment goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting funds under management and meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. 1.0 POLICY The policy of the City of Santa Ana is to invest idle or unexpended funds within the scope of this investment policy in a prudent and suitable manner that will provide, within the parameters of this investment policy, the highest reasonable investment return relative to the risk being assumed while maintaining maximum security and meeting all cash flow demands. This policy is intended to comply with Federal law and the Code of California for investment of public funds. In instances in which this policy is more restrictive than Federal or State law, this policy shall be controlling. This policy is fixed and general in nature; it defines authorized investments and guides the investment decisions and security selection process. The City's Investment policy will be regularly reviewed and adjusted to create an investment portfolio that is suitable for the City given current conditions. 2.0 SCOPE 2.1 Applicability of Investment Policv This investment policy applies to all funds and investment transactions of the City. These funds are accounted for in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which includes the following: • General Fund • Special Revenue Funds • Capital Projects Funds (includes restricted bond proceeds) • Enterprise Funds (includes restricted bond proceeds) • Trust and Agency Funds • Internal Service Funds • Any new fund created by the City of Santa Ana, unless specifically exempted City of Santa Annual pp July 1, 2018 Statement of Investment Policy 5v� �7 June 30, 2019 The restricted bond proceeds are invested in compliance with this investment policy and applicable bond resolutions. Individual employee retirement contribution funds and deferred compensation are excluded from this policy. 2.2 Poolina of Funds Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City of Santa Ana will consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 3.0 PRUDENCE 3.1 Standard of Care — Prudent Investor The City investment program shall be managed in a professional and prudent manner worthy of the public trust and review. The standard of prudence to be used by City investment officials shall be the "prudent investor rule" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall investment portfolio. The "prudent investor rule" provides, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.3, that investments shall be made with judgment and care. When investing, reinvesting or managing public funds a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under circumstances then prevailing. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from exceptions are reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy. The City is governed by the California Government Code, Sections 16429.1 and Title 5, Division 2, Part 1, Chapter 4, entitled Financial Affairs, commencing with section 53630. Each investment transaction and the entire portfolio must comply with California Government Code, Sections 53600 and 53635 et seq. and this policy. 3.2 Written Investment Procedures City investment officials shall establish written investment procedures consistent with this investment policy for the operation of the investment program. Procedures should include but not be limited to: authorized personnel, segregation of duties, internal controls, wire transfer agreements, daily cash flow review, basis for awarding bids, portfolio inventory, and reporting. The procedures document is intended to provide guidance for staff and to provide continuity in the event of an interruption of services of the Treasury and Customer Services Manager and/or Assistant Finance Director. City of Santa - Annual0 p��EEee ZZ July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy C —$ June 30, 2019 EXII The primary objectives, in priority order, for the City of Santa Ana's investment activities shall be Safety, Liquidity, and Yield: 4.1 Safety Of Principal Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Santa Ana, care must be taken to ensure the preservation of capital and the protection of principal. Each investment transaction shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk by following guideline listed below. A. Credit Risk Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer to redeem the outstanding debt at the stated maturity date. Credit risk also applies to the overall market perception of the financial strength and capacity of the issuer. The City of Santa Ana will minimize credit risk by: Limiting investments to authorized investments as set forth in Section 10.0 of this investment policy; ii. Pre -qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with which the City will do business; iii. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. iv. Holding a minimum percentage of the total portfolio in highly marketable short-term treasuries, checking with interest, government pooled account, or a combination of all three. The minimum percentage shall be set monthly by the City of Santa Ana Investment Committee based on a rolling twenty-four month analysis of the City's minimum cash position requirements adjusted for any exceptional anticipated cash out flows. B. Market or Interest Rate Risk Market or interest rate risk is the. risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio may fall due to changes in general interest rates. The City of Santa Ana will minimize interest market interest rates, by: Structuring the Fund so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 69IJ-9 June 30, 2019 need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity, and ii. Purchasing investments with the intent to hold until maturity; and iii. By investing operating funds primarily in shorter -term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity of the portfolio in accordance with this policy. 4.2 Liquidity The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). The City's cash flow shall be updated on a daily basis and will be considered prior to the investment of securities, which will reduce the necessity to sell investments for liquidity purposes. 4.3. Yield The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market -average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. The return on investments is to be accorded secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments will focus on relatively low risk securities with an expectation of earning a reasonable return relative to the risk being assumed. It is the general policy of the City to hold investments until market value equals or exceeds amortized cost or book value of the security. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions: A. a declining credit security could be sold early to minimize loss of principal; B. a simultaneous purchase of a security and the sale of another (security swap) to enhance the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio; or C. a sale of a specific security prior to its maturity and a capital gain or loss recorded in order to improve the credit quality, liquidity, or rate of return of the portfolio in response to market conditions and/or City risk preferences. City of Santa - Annual pE July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 599 1 0 June 30, 2019 D. general liquidity needs of the investment portfolio require that a security be sold; E. prepayment of City debt or contribution servicing obligation. In the event the City is presented with an option for prepayment of a City debt or contribution servicing obligation, the following analysis will be conducted by Treasury investment staff with regards to a comparison between the amortized savings which may be realized by exercising such prepayment option and: L the current portfolio yield; ii. the trend of the debt or contribution servicing obligation; iii. whether variances in the trend are substantial; iv. the City's net cash position; and v. the market value of investment instrument(s) recommended by Treasury staff to be liquidated to fulfill a prepayment election. Upon completion of said analysis, a recommendation shall be presented to the Investment Advisory Committee for consideration for approval or rejection. When selling a security prior to maturity, City investment officials and/or officers (see generally subsection 5.1 at seq. - Investment Authority and Responsibility) must be prepared to justify the reasons and explain any gains or losses. Compliance with the investment policy does not measure return, but rather manages risk. Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed, but is a model to follow. The City will benchmark its investment portfolio performance to the appropriate "treasuries constant maturity' rate based on portfolio maturities of the investment plan. The City shall strive to maintain one hundred percent (100%) investment of idle funds after consideration for a compensating balance to cover the cost of services provided by the City's depository bank. The funds available for investment are determined by cash flow projections updated daily. Investments are monitored so that legal limits on types of investments are not exceeded.

Accordingly, the City shall not invest in any inverse floaters, range notes, or mortgage derived, interest -only strips. In addition, the City shall not invest any funds in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. However, prohibited securities that are in the City's portfolio, as of the date of this policy adoption, may be held until their maturity dates. 9.2 Disallowed Investments - Higher Perceived Risk Besides investments prohibited by statute, this policy disallows investments in the following due to a higher perceived risk: • Asset-backed securities (ABS) — securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit; Derivatives — financial instruments which have a principal and/or interest payment subject to uncertainty as to timing and/or amount including financial instruments whose return profile is linked to, or derived from, the movement of one or more underlying index or security, and may include a leveraging City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy5b131 9 June 30, 2019 factor, or financial contracts based upon notional amounts whose value is derived from an underlying index or security (interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities or commodities); • Investment agreements — contracts regarding funds deposited by an investor often separated into those offered by banks and those offered by insurance companies commonly known as Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) or Guaranteed Investment Agreements (GIAs); • Mortgage-backed securities — securities created when a mortgage or purchaser of residential real estate mortgages creates a pool of mortgages and markets undivided interests or participation in the pool, including principal only strips; • Reverse Repurchase agreements — agreements involving the borrowing of cash from a financial institution for the purchase of securities in which a financial asset is instead pledged as a collateral for a loan in which the roles of borrower and lender are reversed. • Securities lending agreements — agreements allowing local agencies to earn incremental income on their investment portfolio by loaning securities in their portfolio to financial services companies for a limited time; 9.3 Prohibited Investment Practices Assets of the City shall not be invested pursuant to the following investment practices: • Trading of securities strictly for speculation or solely for the realization of short-term trading gains. • A contract providing for the compensation of an agent or fiduciary solely based upon the performance of the invested assets. • If a fiduciary or other third party with custody of public investment transaction records of the City fails to produce records within a reasonable time, when requested by the City, the City shall make no new investments with or through the fiduciary or third party and shall not renew maturing investments with or through the fiduciary or third party. 10.0 INVESTMENT POOLS/MUTUAL FUNDS The Executive Director for FMSA or his/her designee shall be required to investigate all local government investment pools and money market mutual funds prior to investing City of Santa - Annual �p q July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 59b1 �f O June 30, 2019 and perform at least a quarterly review thereafter while the City is invested in the pool or the money market fund. The City currently authorizes pooled investment fund deposits only with the state Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is authorized under provisions in Section 16429.1 of the California Government Code as an allowable investment for local agencies even though some of the individual investments of the pool are not allowed as a direct investment by a local agency such as the City of Santa Ana. Government sponsored investment pools (Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), County Pools, Joint Powers Authority Pools, and the State Treasury Voluntary Investment Program Fund), are sources for short-term cash management. Before seeking City Council approval for participation in one or more additional investment pools/money market mutual funds, the Executive Director for FMSA or his/her designees will conduct a thorough investigation the prospective pool prior to recommending City investment. Before recommending investing in a prospective pool, the following issues must be reviewed: A. The pool must meet the requirements of state statue. B. The pool must provide a written statement of policy and objectives. C. A questionnaire developed by Treasury Investment staff and approved by the Treasury and Customer Services Manager or Assistant Director of Finance shall address the following general topics: i. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives. ii. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated. iii. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited. iv. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal are allowed. v. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. vi. A description of how reserves, retained earnings, etc. are utilized by the pool. vii. A model of the fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed. viii. A description of eligibility and/or acceptance of bond proceeds. ix. The pool must contain only the types of investment allowed by California Code. Statement of Investment Policy July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019 Upon approval for participation in one or more additional investment pools the Treasury investment staff shall thereafter on a regular and continuing basis investigate and reconfirm the pool's compliance with items listed above and shall monitor the pool's performance reports. 11.0 COLLATERALIZATION/SECURITY FOR DEPOSIT OF PUBLIC FUNDS Money must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations or state or federal credit unions in the State of California. It may be in inactive deposits, active deposits or interest-bearing active deposits. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the bank's or savings and loan's paid up capital and surplus. The bank or savings and loan must secure the active and inactive deposits with eligible securities having a market value of one -hundred, ten percent (110%) of the total amount of the deposits. State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of one -hundred, fifty percent (150%) of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is letters of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Treasurer may waive, at his discretion, security for that portion of a deposit which is insured pursuant to federal law. Currently, the first two -hundred, fifty -thousand dollars ($250,000) of a deposit is federally insured. It is to the City's advantage to waive this collateral requirement for the first $250,000 because we receive a higher interest rate. 12.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY 14.1 Perfected Interest and Delivery versus Payment In accordance with California Government Code Section 53601, to protect against potential losses caused by collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City except securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements, shall be kept in safekeeping with 'perfected interest" by the City's custodial bank or a third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. All securities, excepting investments which are not deliverable (such as LAIF, direct time certificates of deposit, and money market mutual funds), will be received and delivered using standard `delivery versus payment': b # Z�&9IA[ft�_,N d[a]L1 The purpose of. diversification is to reduce overall portfolio risk while attaining market rates of return and to enable the City to meet all anticipated cash requirements. The investment portfolio shall consist of various types of securities approved by state statute and this Statement of Investments Policy. Investments shall vary in issuers, asset classes, industries and maturities to meet City's financial obligations. Diversifying the investment portfolio will help mitigate the loss of funds as a result of failure of any one issuer. City of Santa - Annual p� July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 5 C b1� 2 June 30, 2019 Investments shall further be diversified between structures and imbedded options within the security. The investments shall be diversified by: • Limiting investments to avoid over -concentration in securities of a specific issuer (excluding treasury bills). • Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks. • Limiting certificates of deposit to the maximum federally insured amount. • Investing in securities with varying maturities. • Investing a minimum percentage of the total portfolio as established by the investment advisory committee in highly marketable short-term treasuries, checking accounts with interest, government pooled account, or a combination of all three (See Section 4.1 (A)(iv)). 14.0 MAXIMUM MATURITIES 14.1 Maximum Maturities To the extent possible, the City of Santa Ana will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements and thus maturities shall coincide as nearly as possible with the anticipated need. The maximum durations for authorized investments pursuant to section 8.2 subsections (A) through (F) are as follows: • United States Treasury Bills. Notes. and Bonds — five (5) years maximum maturity • _Obligations issued by a Federal Agency or a United States Government Sponsored Enterprise — five (5) years maximum maturity • Supranational Obligations - five (5) years maximum maturity • Bills of Exchange/Banker's acceptances - one hundred eighty (180) days maximum maturity. • Commercial Paper- two hundred seventy 270 days maximum maturity • Repurchase Agreements — one (1) year maximum maturity • Negotiable Certificates of Deposit - five (5) years maximum maturity • Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) State Pool - no final stated maturity • City of Santa Ana Bonds - five (5) years maximum maturity • Other State of California Local Agency Bonds - five (5) years maximum maturity • Medium Term Corporate Notes - five (5) years maximum maturity City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 5 r 51� 3 June 30, 2019 • Shares of Beneficial InteresbMoney Market Shares -no final stated maturity (See also subsection 8.2 generally for additional information on City authorized concentration limits and quality requirements.) 14.2 Average Maturity In accordance with the goal of minimizing interest rate risk (see subsection 4.1(b)) the City of Santa Ana will to the extent possible attempt to aim for an average investment portfolio maturity of 3 years. 15.0 INTERNAL CONTROLS The Executive Director for FMSA is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The Executive Director for FMSA has developed a system of internal investment controls and a segregation of responsibilities of investment functions in order to assure an adequate system of internal control over the investment function. No investment personnel may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the terms of this policy and the procedure established by the Executive Director for FMSA. Internal control procedures address: • Control of collusion • Control of fraud • Control of misrepresentation by third parties • Control of employee error • Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping • Custodial safekeeping • Delivery versus payment • Clear delegation of authority • Conformation of transactions for investment and wire transfers • Written procedures for placing of investment transactions • FMSA Investment Advisory Committee In addition, cash balances are reconciled reconfirmed by the City's accounting staff. activities and holdings on a monthly basis daily by non -investment employees and Accounting staff also verifies investment as part of the FMSA Investment Advisory Committee. The Executive Director for FMSA, at his/her discretion, shall establish a process for annual independent reviews by an external auditor to the extent contemplated by generally accepted auditing standards. City of Santa - Annual Paa 18 July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 555-24 June 30, 2019 16.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market -average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints, cash flow, and policy towards the pre -payment of specific City debts or contribution servicing obligations (when finically advantageous to the City). Investment return becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of investment safety and liquidity have been met. Because the investment portfolio is designed to operate on primarily a 'hold -to -maturity' premise, and because of the safety, liquidity, and yield priorities, the performance benchmark that will be used by the Executive Director for FMSA to determine whether market yields are being achieved shall be the average of the monthly LAIF rate and the 12 -month rolling average 2 -Year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rate. However, since return on investment is the least important objective of the Investment Portfolio, the benchmark will be used only as a reference tool. The reporting of a benchmark does not imply that the City Treasurer will add additional risk to the Investment Portfolio in order to attain or exceed the benchmark. 17.0 REPORTING Government Code Section 53646(b)(1) previously mandated that annual investment policies and quarterly reports be rendered to the legislative body (for the City of Santa Ana - the City Council). AB 2853 amended Government Code Section 53646 making these requirements permissive rather than mandatory. Although the Annual Statement of Investment Policy and Quarterly Reports to City Council are no longer required, we believe it to be both prudent and in keeping with the spirit of the City's Sunshine Policy that these documents continue to provided. The Executive Director for FMSA shall therefore continue to render to the City Council an annual Statement of Investment Policy and regular reports to the City Manager and the City Council containing detailed information on all securities, investments, and moneys of the City. The reports will be informally submitted to the City Manager and City Council on a monthly basis and will be rendered formally to the City Council on a quarterly basis as part of a scheduled open City Council Meeting agenda within thirty (30) days following the end of each quarter. The report will contain the following information on the funds that are subject to this investment policy: 1) Type of investment and name of issuer; 2) Date of maturity; 3) Par amount; 4) Dollar amount invested in all securities, and investments and monies held by the City (amortized Cost or book value); 5) Weighted average maturity of the investments; City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy p8Ui4 June 30, 2019 6) Current market value as of the date of report of all funds held by the City and under the management of any outside party that is not also a local agency or LAIF and the source of the valuation; 7) Source of the market value information; 8) A description of the any funds, investments or programs, including loans, under the management of contracted parties such as LAIF, investment. pools, outside money managers, and securities lending agents); 9) A statement of compliance with the investment policy or an explanation for non-compliance; and 10) A statement of the local agency's ability to meet its pool's expenditure requirements for the next six months, as well as an explanation of why sufficient money will not be available if that is the case. 18.0 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 18.1 Exemptions Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy as long as it was in compliance with State of California law and the City's investment policy in effect at the time of purchase. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy. 18.2 Stabilization Fund Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the consolidation of cash balances from all funds and the maintenance of portfolio liquidity (both static and dynamic) as provided for in this policy taken together with the monthly affirmation to the City Manager and City Councilmembers of the City's ability to meet its pool's expenditure requirements for the next six months shall be deemed to functionally meet and exceed the requirements of Article VI., Sec. 610, of the City of Santa Ana Charter as relates to the maintenance of a stabilization fund. 18.3 Amendments In the event this policy is amended prior to the end of its twelve month fiscal year term the amended Statement of Investment Policy shall be resubmitted to City Council for review and adoption by City Council Resolution. 18.4 Approval This Statement of Investment Policy is approved by City Council on this 3rd day of July, 2018 pursuant to City Council Resolution # 2018 - City of Santa - Annual Pa20 July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 55b-26 June 30, 2019 19.0 POLICY REVIEW, CERTIFICATION, AND ADOPTION 19.1 Policy Review This Statement of Investment Policy shall be reviewed at least annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of PRINCIPAL, LIQUIDITY, AND YIELD, and to: 1) reflect changes in applicable California state codes, 2) maintain its relevance to current financial and economic trends, and 3) meet the needs of the City of Santa Ana. 19.2 Policy Review Annually, this Statement of Investment Policy will be submitted to the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada and the California Municipal Treasurers Association for review and certification. 19.3 Adoption The Executive Director for FMSA shall annually render this Statement of Investment Policy to the City Council and City Manager.

The anticipated pay down schedule of the securities will vary from mortgage pool to mortgage pool. Mortgage pass-through securities are complex investment instruments that do not respond to market forces like other, more standard investment instruments. In a declining interest rate environment, mortgage pass-through investors face higher reinvestment risk and lower returns from their investment than investors in other instruments because homeowners tend to refinance in lower interest rate environments, accelerating the principal payments on their mortgages. Thus, the mortgage pass-through investor receives the accelerated principal payments at par and must reinvest these earnings in a lower interest rate environment.

A custodian holds securities and other assets in electronic or physical form. CUSIP: CUSIP or CUSPIC number stands for Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures. A CUSIP number identifies most financial instruments, including: stocks of all registered U.S. and Canadian companies, commercial paper, and U.S. government and municipal bonds. The CUSIP system (formally known as CUSIP Global Services) --owned by the American Bankers Association and managed by Standard & Poor's - facilitates the clearance and settlement process of securities. CUSIP numbers consist of nine characters (including letters and numbers) that uniquely identify a company or issuer and the type of financial instrument. A similar system is used to identify foreign securities (CUSIP International Numbering System or CINS). CINS employs the same nine character identifier as CUSIP, but also contains a letter in the first position to signify the issuer's country or geographic region. DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer. DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its maturity when quoted at lower than face value. A security selling below original offering price shortly after sale also is considered to be at a discount. DISCOUNT SECURITIES: Non-interest bearing money market instruments that are issued a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value (e.g. - U.S. Treasury Bills). FAIR VALUE: The amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Agencies of the Federal government set up to supply credit to various classes of institutions and individuals, e.g., S&L's, small business firms, students, farmers, farm cooperatives, and exporters. FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through open -market operations. FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC): Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member, while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money. City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 59b1 54 June 30, 2019 INVERTED YIELD CURVE: A chart formation that illustrates long-term securities having lower yields than short-term securities. This configuration usually occurs during periods of high inflation coupled with low levels of confidence in the economy and a restrictive monetary policy. INVESTMENT-GRADE OBLIGATIONS: An investment instrument suitable for purchase by institutional investors under the prudent person rule. Investment-grade is restricted to those obligations rated BBB or higher by a rating agency. LADDERING: Is a bond investment strategy whereby an investor staggers the maturity of the bonds in his/her portfolio so that the bond proceeds can be reinvested at regular intervals. Laddering avoids the risk of reinvesting a large portion of assets in an unfavorable financial environment. Each "rung" of the ladder is a bond of a specific maturity date and the "height" of the ladder is the difference between the shortest maturity bond and the longest maturity bond. Benefits of utilizing a rolling inventory of bonds with "laddered" maturities are primarily three -fold: (1) Interest rate risk is decreased by holding both short-term and long-term bonds thereby spreading risk along the interest rate curve. If rates are rising, as one bond matures the funds can be re -invested into higher yield bonds. (2) - Decrease re -investment risk because as one bond in the ladder matures, the cash is re -invested, but it only represents a portion of the total portfolio. Even if prevailing rates at the time of re -investment are lower than the previous bond was returning, the smaller amount of reinvestment dollars mitigates the risk of investing a lot of cash at a low return. (3) - Maintain steady cash flows to encourage regular saving to encourage an income-producing portfolio. MARK -TO -MARKET: The process whereby the book value or collateral value of a security is adjusted to reflect its current market value. OFFER PRICE (OR OFFER): The price asked by a seller of securities. (When you are buying securities, you ask for an offer.) See Asked Price and Bid Price. OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS: Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank as directed by the FOMC in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most important and most flexible monetary policy tool. PASSBOOK SAVINGS ACCOUNT: A savings account in which deposits and withdrawals are recorded in the depositor's passbook. QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not claim exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or ad valorem taxes under the laws of this state, which has segregated for the benefit of the commission eligible collateral having a value of not less than its maximum liability and which has been approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits. REINVESTMENT RISK: The risk that a fixed-income investor will be unable to reinvest income proceeds from a security holding at the same rate of return currently generated by that holding. SEC RULE 15(C)3-1 [Uniform Net Capital Rule]: Every broker or dealer must at all times have and maintain net capital no less than the greater of the highest minimum requirement applicable to its ratio requirement under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, or to any of its activities under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, and must otherwise not be "insolvent" as that term is defined in paragraph (c)(16) of this section. City of Santa - Annual July 1, 2018 - Statement of Investment Policy 5toK55 June 30, 2019 STRUCTURED NOTES: Notes issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises (FHLB, FNMA, SLMA, etc.) and Corporations, which have imbedded options (e.g., call features, step-up coupons, floating rate coupons, derivative -based returns) into their debt structure. Their market performance is impacted by the fluctuation of interest rates, the volatility of the imbedded options and shifts in the shape of the yield curve. TIME DEPOSITS: These instruments are issued by depository institutions against funds deposited for a specified length of time. For the purpose of this report, time deposits (which would include instruments such as deposit notes) are distinct from CDs. The primary difference between the two is the method of interest calculation. Interest payments on time deposits are calculated in a manner similar to that of corporate bonds whereas interest payments on CDs are calculated similarly to money market instruments. TOTAL RETURN: All money earned on a bond or bond fund from annual interest and market gain or loss, if any, including the deduction of sales charges and/or commissions. WHEN ISSUED (WI): A conditional transaction in which an authorized new security has not been issued. All "when issued" transactions are settled when the actual security is issued. YIELD CURVE: A graphic representation that depicts the relationship at a given point in time between yields and maturity for bonds that are identical in every way except maturity. A normal yield curve may be alternatively referred to as a positive yield curve. YIELD TO CALL (YTC): The rate of return you receive if you hold the bond to its call date and the security is redeemed at its call price. YTC assumes interest payments are reinvested at the yield -to -call date. YIELD TO MATURITY (YTM): The overall interest rate earned by an investor who buys a bond at the market price and holds it until maturity. Mathematically, it is the discount rate at which the sum of all future cash flows (from coupons and principal repayment) equals the price of the bond. YIELD TO WORST (YTW): The lower yield of yield -to -call and yield -to -maturity. Investors of callable bonds should always do the comparison to determine a bond's most conservative potential return. ZERO-COUPON SECURITIES (STRIPS): Security that is issued at a discount and makes no periodic interest payments. The rate of return consists of a gradual accretion of the principal of the security and is payable at par upon maturity. California state law does not allow local agencies to purchase these securities because of the greater interest rate risk and price volatility associated with them.
