Morgan Stanley - On the Markets May 2019 II Morgan Stanley - Inputs for Global Investment Committee's (GIC) strategic asset Allocations. Mr. Brice cited from the On the Markets where the CIO stated don't expect a flux of where the markets do very well over a short period of time. All equity indices have been very strong througl"i the month of April since the start of 2019. When the markets move that fast, it tends to have investors on the sidelines with cash, jump in causing a melt up. The FED has not raised interest rates and if the trade and tariff issue does not get resolved it could result in the FED easing interest rates. Mr.Briceaddressedmoneymanagerperformances. ThroughthelsIquarterof2019theportfolios are up 1 1.37%. As compared to other public pension plans under $25 million we were in the top 5'h percentile. The two fixed income managers were up 4.26% and 4.11% for the Ist quarter in 2019. Most money managers did well against their benchmarks Cambair is down 7.96% and the style benchmark is down 6.00% this is due true value international manager and do not tend to cheat on their style. Clearbridge was up 14.83% for the quarter and their benchmark the EAFE, was up 12.00%. Cushing was up for the quarter as our master limited partnership investment. Mr. Brice went over the portfolio asset allocation. The portfolio is still heavily weighted on US Domestic equities.
