Meeting Open to the Public No items were discussed. 22-23 Morgan Stanley\Graystone Consulting Investment Report Morgan Stanley discussed the Plan’s asset allocation, percentage of portfolio and differences to policy target. The Federal Reserve has continued to tighten, inflation is above policy targets and the post-COVID boom’s economic resolution is still not finalized. Morgan Stanley models project the next bull market phase as one of normalized inflation and higher neutral rates. The 2023 seven-year annual return forecast for global stocks remains essentially unchanged, at 5.2%, with projected US equity returns improving modestly to 4.4%, which is below historical average. Hedge fund education material was distributed and discussed. The policy targets 3%, about $800,000, to invest in hedge funds. Morgan Stanley is looking at a single hedge fund manager, for exposure to asset class, but has diversification, a number of portfolio strategies under one ownership. This investment consideration is not to take on undo risk. The manager will typically receive 1.5% management fee plus 15% of the return, and there is up to 3 months to liquidity. Quarter to date returns were up 4.66% net of fees, for the fiscal year to date up 5.88% net of fees, and last 3 years up 12.33% net of fees. The total assets as of April 10, 2023 were $25,605,219 and as of March 31, 2023 were $25,236,150. 1 04/18/2023 Motion by Trustee Bissinger and supported by Trustee Kunath to receive and file the investment reports.
