decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter
are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When
investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public
funds,a trustee shall act with care, skill,prudence,and diligence under the circumstances
then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the
anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and

with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the
agency..."

The Director of Finance/Treasurer, Assistant Director of Finance, Treasury Manager and Finance
Manager as investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the Investment Policy

Government Code Section 53600, et seq. Criteria for selecting investments and the absolute order of
priority are:
5.1 Safety:
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City of
Chula Vista shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall
portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
5.2 Liquidity:
The City of Chula Vista's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet
all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated and to maintain compliance with any
indenture agreement, as applicable. Liquidity is essential to the safety of principal.
5.3 Return on Investments:
The City of Chula Vista's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a
market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles (market interest rates), within
the City's Investment Policy's risk parameters and the City's cash flow needs. See also Section 16.0.
6.0 Delegation of Authority:
The City Council delegates responsibility for the investment program to the Director of
Finance/Treasurer for a period of one year. Subject to review, the City Council may renew the
delegation of authority each year. The Director of Finance/Treasurer shall be responsible for all
transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls and written procedures to regulate the
activities of subordinate officials. The responsibility for the day-to-day investment of City funds will
be delegated to the Assistant Director of Finance or their designee. The Director of Finance/Treasurer
may delegate day-to-day investment decision making and execution authority to an investment advisor.
The advisor shall follow the Investment Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.

(02/XX/2022)
In addition to state and local statutes relating to conflicts of interest, all persons involved in the
investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper
execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment
decisions. Employees and investment officers, including investment advisors, are required to file
annual disclosure statements as required for "public officials who manage public investments" [as
defined and required by the Political Reform Act and related regulations, including Government Code
Sections 81000, et seq., and the rules, regulations and guidelines promulgated by California's Fair
Political Practices Commission (FPPC)].
8.0 Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions:
For any transactions executed by the City, the City's Director of Finance/Treasurer will maintain a list
of the financial institutions and brokers/dealers authorized to provide investment and depository
services and will perform an annual review of their financial condition. The City will utilize Moody's
Securities or other such services to determine financially sound institutions with which to do business.
The City shall annually send a copy of the current Investment Policy to all financial institutions and
brokers/dealers approved to do business with the City.
As far as possible, all money belonging to, or in the custody of, a local agency, including money paid
to the City's Director of Finance/Treasurer or other official to pay the principal, interest, or penalties of
bonds, shall be deposited for safekeeping in state or national banks, savings associations, federal
associations, credit unions, or federally insured industrial loan companies in this state selected by the
City's Director of Finance/Treasurer; or may be invested in the investments set forth in Section 9.0. To
be eligible to receive local agency money, a bank, savings association, federal association, or federally
insured industrial loan company shall have received an overall rating of not less than "satisfactory" in
its most recent evaluation by the appropriate federal financial supervisory agency of its record of
meeting the credit needs of California's communities, including low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods.
To provide for the optimum yield in the investment of City funds, the City's investment procedures
shall encourage competitive bidding on transactions. Any transactions not executed directly with the
issuer shall be made with approved brokers/dealers. In order to be approved by the City, the
broker/dealer must meet the following criteria: (i) the broker/dealer must be a "primary" dealer or
regional broker/dealer that qualifies under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (Uniform
Net Capital Rule); (ii) the broker/dealer must be experienced in institutional tradIEL2racticcs and

authorized under provisions in Section 16429.1 of the California Government Code as an allowable
investment for local agencies even though some of the individual investments of the pool are not
allowed as a direct investment by a local agency.
10.0 Portfolio Adjustments:
Should any investment listed in section 9.0 exceed a percentage-of-portfolio limitation due to an
incident such as fluctuation in portfolio size, the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid
losses. When no loss is indicated, the Director of Finance/Treasurer shall consider reconstructing the
portfolio basing his or her decision on the expected length of time the portfolio will be unbalanced. If
this occurs, the City Council shall be notified.
11.0 Collateralization:
Under provisions of the California Government Code, California banks, and savings and loan
associations are required to secure the City's deposits by pledging letters of credit issued by the Federal
Home Loan Bank of San Francisco with a value of 105% of the principal and accrued interest,
government securities with a value of 110%of principal and accrued interest or first trust deed mortgage

Insurance Corporation.
The market value of securities that underlay a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater
of the funds borrowed against those securities and the value shall be adjusted no less than quarterly.
Since the market value of the underlying securities is subject to daily market fluctuations, the
investments in repurchase agreements shall be in compliance if the value of the underlying securities is
brought back up to 102% no later than the next business day. Collateral will always be held by an
independent third party. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be
supplied to the City and retained. The right of collateral substitution is granted.

shall be safe kept with the City itself or with a qualified financial institution, contracted by the City as
a third party. All agreements and statements will be subject to review annually by external auditors in
conjunction with their audit. In the event that the City has a financial institution hold the securities, a
separate custodial agreement shall be required. All deliverable securities shall be acquired by the
safekeeping institution on a "Delivery-Vs-Payment" (DVP) basis. For Repurchase Agreements, the
purchase may be delivered by book entry, physical delivery or by third-party custodial agreement
consistent with the Government Code. The transfer of securities to the counter party bank's customer
book entry account may be used for book entry delivery.
13.0 Diversification:
The City's investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks
associated with concentrating investments in specific security types, maturity segment, or in individual
financial institutions. No more than 5% of the investment portfolio shall be in securities of any one
issuer except for U.S. Treasuries,U.S. Government Agency issues, and investment pools such as LAIF,
the San Diego County Pool, money market funds, and local government investment pools (LGIP's).
A. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the insurer of a security, shall be mitigated
by investing in those securities with an "A" or above rating and approved in the Investment Policy
and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer would not unduly
harm the City's cash flow.
B. Market risk, defined as the risk of market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general
level of interest rates, shall be mitigated by implementing a long-term investment strategy. It is
explicitly recognized herein,however,that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses are
inevitable and must be considered within the context of overall investment return. The City's
investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating
requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
14.0 Maximum Maturities:
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow
requirements. The City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5)years from the
date of purchase, unless, the legislative body has granted express authority to make that investment
either specifically, or as a part of an investment program approved by the City Council at least three 3

1. Director of Finance/Treasurer
2. Assistant Director of Finance
3. Treasury Manager
4. Finance Manager
5. Revenue Manager
6. Budget and Analysis Manager
16.0 Performance Standards:
The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout
budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and cash
flow. Investment return becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of investment safety
and liquidity have been met. In evaluating the performance of the City's portfolio in complying with
this policy, the City shall establish an appropriate performance benchmark and compare the return of
its portfolio to the return of the benchmark.
