In compliance with Section 15.0 of Board Policy 349, Investment Policy, the Monthly Report on Investments for November, December, and January is forwarded to the Board of Directors for review. The portfolio detailed in the report complies with Board Policy 349, and the District is well-positioned to meet its expenditure obligations over the next six months.
Investment returns have aligned with the federal funds rate, as the District’s funds are primarily invested in Treasury bills and money market accounts. In response to the District’s budget deficit, maintaining adequate liquidity has become an elevated priority. This strategic shift has led to more conservative investment positioning, resulting in slightly lower returns for the current period. Given the continued emphasis on liquidity preservation, returns are expected to remain muted in the near term.
