Why an Investment Policy?
• GFOA’s Best Practice on “Creating an Investment Policy” starts with: “A written investment policy is the single most important element in a public funds investment program.”
• Why? v It improves the quality of decisions v It demonstrates a commitment to the fiduciary care of
public funds, with emphasis on balancing safety of principal and liquidity with yield.
v It signals to rating agencies, the capital markets, and the public that a government entity is well managed and is earning interest income suitable to its situation and economic environment. 18

What Does an Investment Policy Do?

• The Policy is an external document v Distribute to outside parties
• Get governing body approval v As resolution, ordinance, etc.
• Perform annual reviews & updates 25

What is a Cash Flow Forecast
• Projection of anticipated cash receipts
• Projection of anticipated cash disbursements
• To create an estimate of investable cash balances v Liquid funds v Reserve funds
• “Cash” is the operative word in “cash flow forecasting”. v It is not accruals or budgeted funds v Only cash is spendable or investable!

Identify Liquid & Reserve Balances
• Total balances are trending higher
• But balances fluctuate throughout the year
• The “Liquid Balances" are established to meet cash needs
• The “Reserve Balances" are generally stable and available for longer-term more diversified investing

Accounting Considerations
• Book value vs. cost v Will you amortize premiums and accrete discounts or carry at
original cost?
• Yield vs. total return v Yield - measures income v Total return - measures outcomes of investment strategies
• Calculating weighted average maturity (WAM), weighted average duration (WAD) and weighted average yield (WAY)
• Accruing interest v Purchased interest v Monthly accrual

Evaluating Results
• Portfolio management is risk management v Market/interest rate risk v Credit risk v Liquidity risk v Prepayment risk
• How well is investment risk being managed? v Is liquidity sufficient to fund disbursements for the next 6-12
months? v What is the appropriate market (total return) benchmark
based on the entity’s investment objectives and constraints? v Is there appropriate duration distribution and credit
diversification versus the benchmark given the current market and economic environment?
v What is the current and historic total return and yield versus the benchmark? 56
