Morgan Stanley Brian Brice discussed the Plan’s asset allocation, percentage of portfolio and differences to policy target. President Trump imposed tariffs on April 2, 2025 on all imported goods to the United States. Tariffs are a massive tax on the economy, and this execution caused significant volatility in the markets. Much is unknown about how long the tariffs will last or if there will be reciprocal tariffs imposed. These many unknowns create uncertainty and volatility. The occurrence of two negative quarters in a row is deemed a recession. The market values of the portfolio were higher on April 14, 2025 than they were on April 4, 2025. The bond market is a key indicator of the economic forecast and will be watched closely. Lower growth and higher inflation are anticipated in the short run. Asset allocations as of April 4, 2025 were 65.32% Equities compared to 66.00% policy target; 24.78% Fixed Income compared to 25.00% policy target, 3.25% Hedge Fund compared to 3.00% policy target, 3.11% Private Equity compared to 3.00% policy target; 3.02% Private Credit compared to 3.00% policy target and .52% Cash compared to 0.00% policy target. The annual asset allocation study will be provided by Morgan Stanley for discussion at the May 20, 2025 meeting. The investment balance at April 4, 2025 was $17,722,915. The March 31, 2025 preliminary total assets were valued at approximately $18.7 million, compared to $18,692,977 at December 31, 2024.
