consolidate cash balances from all funds, including utilities and hospital, to

A) Safety of Principal

Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to
rnitigate the following risks.
1. Credit Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize credit risk, which is the risk of
loss due to the failure of the investment issuer or backer, by limiting
the portfolio to the types of investments listed in section8.
Authorized and Suitable Investments of this policy and diversifying
the investment portfolio to diminish the impact of potential losses
from any one type of investment or from any one individual issuer.
2. Interest Rate Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize interest rate risk, which is the
risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to
38
changes in market interest rates, by structuring the portfolio to meet
the cash requirements of ongoing operations, thereby mitigating the
need to liquidate securities at a loss prior to maturity.
3. Concentration Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize Concentration of Credit Risk,
which is the risk of loss due to having a significant portion of
resources invested in a single issuer, by diversifying the investment
portfolio as described in section11. Diversification so the impact of
potential losses from any one type of security or issuer will be
minimized. Investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S.
government and investments in mutual funds, external investment
pools, and other pooled investments are excluded from this
requirement.
4. Custodial Credit Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize Custodial Credit Risk for
deposits, which is the risk that in the event of the failure of a

investments, which is the risk that in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction the value or collateral securities that
are in the possession of an outside party would not be able to be
recovered, as addressed in section9. Safekeeping and Custody.
B) 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 include securities with active secondary or resale
markets (dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be
placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment
pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
C) Return on Investments
The portfolio shall be designed to obtain a reasonable rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles. 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. Securities shall not be sold prior
to maturity, with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining value may be sold early to minimize loss of
principal.
• A security may be exchanged to improve the quality, yield, or target
duration in the portfolio.
• A security may be sold in order to satisfy liquidity requirements.
When selling a security prior to maturity, the City Manager shall provide an
explanation for any gains or losses.
Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed, but is
a model to follow. The City will benchmark its portFolio perFormance to the
appropriate "treasuries constant maturity" rate based on portfolio
maturities of the investment plan.
