Event Description
Public Funds Investing Explained
 
There are many important questions facing public entities regarding their investments. The Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) yield is beginning to drop and will likely fall further, but why is that happening? What are the main drivers of the LGIP yield, and interest rates more broadly, moving up or down at any given time? Perhaps most importantly, what can you do to diversify and protect your entity’s investments against interest rate movements?
 
This class will tackle all these topics and more, including:
  • How the Federal Reserve impacts interest rates and your entity’s investments
  • What public entities can invest in outside of the LGIP to provide diversification, namely bonds
  • The basics of how bonds work as investments to provide stability and diversification to your portfolio
  • How to structure your entity’s investments to meet the hierarchy of public funds investing needs of 1) Safety; 2) Liquidity; 3) Yield
 
The topic of investing can be complicated, but we break down these topics in easy-to-understand ways free from confusing jargon. This class is geared towards demystifying public funds investing and teaching you what you need to know to manage your entity’s investments safely and efficiently.
