City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

01/28/2020

BACKGROUND

The Investment Policy and Strategy of the City of Schertz guides staff in investing city funds. Much of the policy is outlined by the Public Funds Investment Act which ensures public entities make safe choices as to how they invest. The top priority with regard to investable public funds in both the Act and the City Policy is the safety of the funds invested. This means low risk investments that can be easily withdrawn in the event the City needs funding. In order to purchase securities as investment opportunities, the City must go through an investment broker. These firms purchase investment securities in the market on the City's behalf and provide detail research to help us make better decisions to fit our needs. The City of Schertz Investment Policy and Broker list require an annual reaffirmation by City Council.

GOAL

City Staff and Investment Committee recommends Council approving the Investment Policy and Broker list in the documents attached.
