Investment Strategy November December January February March April Purchase securities to the extent possible due to the expectation of an additional rate cut in December; Move additional funds into LAIF to increase earnings. As the federal funds rate approaches 0%, investment options are limited. Bank CDs and callable agency securities are among the best choices. As securities are maturing or being called, the Authority is keeping the portfolio fully invested. Purchases of callable securities represent good value and safety. Investment choices are focused on an 18-month duration as rates in pooled funds continue to fall. This will lock in a higher yield until Fed funds rate increases in 2010. Kept portfolio fully invested by investing in a certificate of deposit and in one year agency callable securities to provide higher yield and security. Continue to keep cash balances to a minimum by reinvesting maturities into 18-20 month securities that provide diversity and security.
The Reserve Primary Fund On September 16, 2008, the Reserve Primary Fund's Net Asset Value fell to $0.97, reducing the value of the Authority’s share from $12,157,575 to $11,809,250.
