The County will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the exception of U.S. Treasury securities and agencies and authorized pools, no more than 35% of the County's total investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single financial institution. lt_,_i;s.,dcs_i,r~~hl~._to diversify by security typL, however. if the . ~i} etci is hitcher, then. n.~ore than 3i"~~ i~f the Co~nlt~ > _tc>t~l investmLnt xi ~rtt~olio ma}' he invested in the same security t~~e. To the extent possible, the County will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Beyond identified cash flow needs, investments will be purchased so that maturities are staggered to avoid undue concentration of assets in a single maturity range, however, the County will not directly invest in securities maturing more than (5) years from the date of purchase. The County may collateralize its repurchase agreements using longer-dated investments not to exceed ten (10) years to maturity. It is the County's full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars. However, economic or market conditions may change, making it in the County's best interest to sell or trade a security prior to maturity. All moneys earned and collected from investments other than bond proceed earnings will be allocated quarterly to various fund amounts based on the quarter's average cash balance in each fund as a percentage of the entire pooled portfolio. Earnings on bond proceeds will be directly allocated to the same proceeds. The Finance Director is charged with the responsibility of preparing a monthly investment inventory report, which includes investment types, cost, market value, maturity date and yield. This shall serve as the County's investment policy. ~- 1 ~
