The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments for all funds under its direct control. Funds held by outside fiscal agents under provisions of bond indentures are maintained separately. Interest earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly to the various Quarterly Investment Report funds based on the respective fund’s average quarterly cash balance. Investment Interest earned from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related accounts. Objectives It is common for governments to pool the cash and investments of various funds to improve investment performance. By pooling funds, the City can benefit from economies of scale, diversification, liquidity, and ease of administration. The City uses the services of an investment advisor, PFM Asset Management, to manage a portion of the City’s portfolio. The City’s strategy is to retain approximately 25% of the portfolio to manage its day-to-day cash flow needs, while PFM’s focus is on longer-term investment management. In addition, the City has retained direct control of several investments that had been acquired before the City began to use investment advisors. All investments are held by the City in a safekeeping account with Bank of New York Mellon, except for investments held by trustees related to bond financings, which are held by either US Bank or Bank of New York Mellon. Page 15 of 29 ESG investing is the process of incorporating the analysis of non-financial environmental, social, and governance factors into investment decisions alongside traditional financial criteria. As set forth in the City’s Investment Management Plan dated August 18, 2020, it is City’s objective to integrate environmental, social, and Environmental, governance (“ESG”) factors into investment decisions Social, for its investment portfolio to the extent practical and and Governance possible. (ESG) Investment In order to achieve this objective, the City will apply the Objectives ESG Investment Criteria to the following Investments: Asset-Backed Securities, Bankers’ Acceptances, Commercial Paper, Corporate, Medium-Term & Bank Notes, and Negotiable Bank Deposit Obligations. The ESG investment criteria is based on ESG Risk Ratings, industry and subindustry definitions, and subindustry rankings as provided by Sustainalytics.
