21-24 Morgan Stanley\Graystone Consulting Investment Report.
Morgan Stanley Brian Brice discussed the Plan’s asset allocation, percentage of portfolio and differences to policy target.
The Capital Market indices through March 2024 showed S&P 500 month to date up 3.7%. The magnificent 7 companies
(Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Google, Tesla, and Meta Platforms) influenced strong returns in the S&P 500
during calendar 2023 and represented 60% of returns in the calendar year. The EAFE is up 5.8%, emerging markets are
up 2.1% overall. The Federal Reserve Board is not reducing rates as quickly as predicted, which was 7 rate reductions
this year, the prediction is now 3 reductions. The expectation is for a “higher-for-longer” rate scenario. The market has
not traded well due to concerns in the middle east. The S&P 500 returns by sector lead by Communication Services with
49.8%, followed by 46.0% for Technology, and 33.5% Financials.
Private investments will be funded $800,000 in Hamilton Lane on 6/01/24 and $800,000 in Fortress on 7/01/24. The
annual Wealth Strategies Analysis does not recommend any further changes to the policy investment statement beyond
what has already been approved by the Board.
March 31, 2024 final investment balance was $28,056,623, returns were up net of fees 4.33% quarter to date less than
5.82% benchmark, up 10.52% fiscal year to date less than 12.87% benchmark, up 5.19% the last 3 years less than 5.26%
benchmark, and up 8.78% the last 5 years more than 8.31% benchmark. The total assets as of May 10, 2024 were
$27,870,411 and were $27,799,144 at April 5, 2024.
Motion by Trustee Strongarone and supported by Trustee Moore to receive and file the investment report and
