Title
Resolution to Adopt Revised Investment Policy
Memorandum
The City's current investment policy was last revised in 2016. After reviewing the policy with our investment advisor and with the Investment Policy Certification Committee of the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States & Canada (APTUSC), one modification is recommended.
This modification would allow the City to invest funds in through a financial institution which arranges for further investment in certificates of deposit (CDs) in one or more insured depository institutions. The maturity for any CD shall not exceed five years and the total exposure to this type of investment shall not exceed 10% of the City's investment portfolio. Additionally, the full amount of principal and any incurred interest of each CD shall be FDIC insured.
The revised policy complies with Michigan law and the established public treasury standards of safety, liquidity, yield, and legality. The policy as proposed here was awarded the APTUSC Investment Policy Certificate of Excellence.
Approval of the revised policy is recommended.
