Brian reported that May was a month of recovery, stating that the S&P was down 5% at the end of May
compared to the end of March, when the S&P was down 20%. Brian also reported that there is starting
to be some growth in the retail and hospitality markets as the economy continues to slowly reopen.
Brian also reported the city’s portfolio appreciated by $4.3 million over the month of May, which resulted
1
in strong returns in both domestic and international equity investments, as well as a nice recovery from
Baird in the domestic fixed income portfolio. Brian also stated that Loomis Sayles High Income is a new
addition to the domestic fixed income portfolio and was added June 1, 2020. Brian also reported that
he will have updated data on Prisa II (real estate) at the July meeting, and that the real estate market
has changed during the pandemic as many companies allowed people to work remotely from home,
and have since reduced their need for office space. Conversely, Brian stated that other companies, like
call centers, have increased their staff and therefore need more office space to safely distance their
employees within the office.

NOTICE OF RETIREE HEALTH CARE INVESTMENT BOARD MEETING
The Royal Oak Retiree Health Care Investment Board will hold at 8:30a.m. on Friday June 5, 2020
On April 1, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-33, which declared both a state of
emergency and a state of disaster across the State of Michigan due to the spread of the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus that had not been previously
identified in humans, can spread easily from person to person, and can result in serious illness or
death. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, to protect the public health, and provide essential
protections to vulnerable Michiganders, it is crucial that all Michiganders take steps to limit in-person
contact. The critical mitigation measures include social distancing and limiting the number of people
interacting at public gatherings. Therefore, the June 5, 2020 Retiree Health Care Investment Board
Meeting will be held electronically, in compliance with the Open Meetings Act and Executive Order
2020-75, as issued by Governor Whitmer on May 6, 2020.
