Event Description
5 Key Components of a Sound Investment Program
This session will cover five components that are fundamental for a prudent investment program of public funds. First it will give a high level overview of an investment policy, and how having a meaningful policy can help guide the government’s entire investment program. The session will highlight the importance of having a cash flow forecast to help structure the investment portfolio into liquidity and core, or longer-term, segments. Third, because banks, broker dealers and other financial vendors provide both insight and access, making sure you work with the right providers is of utmost importance. The session will touch on using competitive procurement to help ensure you work with the most appropriate providers for your situation. Competitive procurement is a must for the purchase of investments as well. Finally, having appropriate internal control helps a finance officer meet her fiduciary duty. The session will review three areas of internal control: an investment procedures manual, use of third-party safekeeping, and collateralization.
Guest Speaker: Sofia Anastopoulos, CFA, Executive Director, Chief Investment Officer, IMET
