The City’s investment policy requires the City <br />to diversify its investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over <br />concentration of assets in a specific maturity. The policy states the City’s investment <br />portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Custodial Credit Risk – For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of <br />the counterparty to an investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer) the City would <br />not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the <br />possession of an outside party. The City’s investment policy does not address custodial <br />credit risk. However, investments in securities are held by the City’s broker-dealers of <br />which $1,500,000 is insured through SIPC. The broker-dealers have provided additional <br />protection by providing additional insurance. This insurance is subject to aggregate limits <br />applied to all of the broker-dealer’s accounts.
