In compliance with Section 15.0 of Board Policy 349, Investment Policy, the Monthly Report on investments for June and July 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. So far in 2025, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has refrained from cutting interest rates. Moving forward, inflation trends, economic growth, and labor market conditions will influence future decisions by the Fed. District staff will continue to closely monitor updates from the Federal Reserve, economic indicators, and expert financial analysis to support sound investment decisions.
ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES:
This report does not recommend a course of action with notable advantages or disadvantages.
