Investments in investment pools and <br />money markets are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form, and therefore are <br />not subject to custodial credit risk disclosures. The City's investment policy requires its brokers be <br />licensed with the appropriate federal and state agencies. A minimum capital requirement of $5,000,000 <br />and at least five years of operation is mandatory. Investments in securities are held by the City's broker - <br />dealers. The securities at each broker -dealer are insured $500,000 through SIPC. Each broker -dealer has <br />provided additional protection by providing additional insurance. This insurance is subject to aggregate <br />limits applied to all of the broker -dealer's accounts. <br />Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair <br />value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its <br />fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City's policy to minimize interest rate risk includes <br />investing primarily in short-term securities and structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature <br />to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations. <br />Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder <br />of the investment. The City's policy to minimize credit risk includes limiting investing funds to those <br />allowable under Minnesota Statute 118A, annually appointing all financial institutions where investments <br />are held, and diversifying the investment portfolio. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a <br />nationally recognized statistical rating organization. <br />Concentration of Credit Risk — Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be attributed to the <br />magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The City places no limit on the amount it may <br />invest in any one issuer. At December 31, 2024, no individual investments exceeded 5% of the City's total <br />investment portfolio. <br />57 <br />
