City of Campbell, California
Subject: Investment Policy
Date: March 18, 2007~
I. PURPOSE
II. SCOPE
It is the policy of the City of Campbell to invest public funds in a prudent manner which
conforms to all statutes governing the investment of public funds while providing security and
meeting the daily cash flow needs of the City.
The purpose of this document is to identify the policies guiding prudent investment of the City
and Redevelopment Agency's temporarily idle funds and to establish guidelines and
objectives for suitable investments including delegation of authority, prudence, monitoring
and reporting, policy review, diversification, eligible securities, safekeeping, collateralization,
selection of financial institutions and_broker/dealers, glossary of terms, and forms utilized.
A. This investment policy shall apply to all financial assets, investment activities, and
debt issues of the City of Campbell and the Campbell Redevelopment Agency
including the following fund types:
1. General Fund
2. Special Revenue Funds
3. Debt Service Funds
4. Capital Projects Funds
5. Internal Service Funds
6. Trust and Agency Funds
B. The policy does not cover funds held by the Public Employees Retirement System nor
funds of the Deferred Compensation program.
III. OBJECTIVES
A.
It is the objective of this policy to provide a system which will monitor and forecast
revenues and expenditures so that the City and the Redevelopment Agency (RDA)
can invest temporarily idle funds to the fullest extent possible. The temporarily idle
funds shall be invested in accordance with provisions of California Government Code
Section 53600 et. seq.
B.
The City and RDA adhere to conservative investment philosophies including
investment of all idle cash, preservation of principal at the risk of yield, maintenance of
adequate liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs and diversification to avoid the
risks inherent in over investing in anyone asset class.
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.
The City and Redevelopment Agency 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 are:

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. Yield: Yield on the City's portfolio is last in rank among investment
objectives. Investments are limited to relatively low risk securities
in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being
assumed.
IV. STRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBILITY
A. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY:
1.
The City Council assumes direction over City and RDA investments, and
assigns management responsibility for the investment program to the Finance
Director, who shall serve as Chief Fiscal Officer, and have legal custody of
funds. The Finance Director may provide for delegation of his/her
responsibilities to other persons under his/her control responsible for
investment transactions, including designation of certain portions of the

GLOSSARY OF ELIGIBLE INVESTMENTS
Local Aaencv Investment Fund (L.A.I.F.). The L.A.I.F. was established by the state of California to
enable treasurers to place funds in a pool for investments. There currently is a limitation of $40
million per agency subject to a maximum of 15 total transactions per month. The City of Campbell
uses this fund when interest rates are declining as well as for short-term investments and liquidity.
U.S. Treasury Bills. Commonly referred to as T -Bills, these are short-term marketable securities
sold as obligations of the U.S. Government. T-Bills do not accrue interest but are sold at a discount
to pay face value at maturity.
U.S. Treasury Notes. These are marketable, interest-bearing securities sold as obligations of the
U.S. Government with original maturities of one to ten years. Interest is paid semi-annually.
U.S. Treasury Bonds. These are the same as U.S. Treasury Notes except they have original
maturities of ten years or longer.
U.S. Government Aaencv Issues. Are securities that are unconditionally backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States, including: Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA),
Farmers Home Administration (FmHA),Small Business Administration (SBA), General Services
Administration (GSA), Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
U.S. Government Instrumentality Issues. Are government sponsored enterprises that are backed
by the creditworthiness of the issuing agency, not the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
They do carry an implied guarantee of government assistance to the organization should it encounter
financial difficulties. Issuers include: Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home
Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Farm Credit Banks (FFCB) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC).
Banker's Acceptance. This is a negotiable time draft (bill of exchange) with a maturity of six months
