C. This policy specifically prohibits trading securities for the sole purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates. It further prohibits reverse repurchase agreements, use of derivative products, and/or leveraging of the portfolio. D. The City shall ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting credit and interest rate risks. The three primary objectives of the City's Investment Policy in order of priority a re: City of Campbell, California °F f Investment Policy Date: August 17, 2021 1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Campbell. Safety and the minimizing of risk associated with investing refer to attempts to reduce the potential for loss of principal, interest or a combination of the two. The City ensures safety of its invested idle funds and limits credit and interest rate risks by following these guidelines (all of which are detailed within the body of the Investment Policy): a. Investing only in those instruments that are generally accepted as safe investment vehicles for local government as authorized by this Policy, b. Carefully reviewing the qualifications and financial strength of financial institutions and broker/dealers prior to conducting business with them, c. Diversifying the investment portfolio as prescribed within this Policy, d. Structuring the portfolio such that securities mature to meet the City's cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to their maturation, e. Limiting the final maturity of purchased securities to five years; limiting the weighted average maturity of the portfolio to three years, and f. Ensuring the physical security or safekeeping of the City's investments. 2. Liquidity: Liquidity is the second most important objective of the City's Policy. Liquidity refers to the ability to convert an investment to cash promptly without loss of principal and minimal loss of interest. For example, this is accomplished by investing either in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) with same day availability, or investing in securities with active secondary or resale markets. 3.
