CITY OF UNION CITY
INVESTMENT POLICY
Effective Date: January 1, 2025July 1, 2026
Policy Statement
Under authority granted by the City Council, the Finance Director is responsible for investing the surplus funds of the City. The intent of this Investment Policy is to formalize the framework for the investment activities that shall be exercised to ensure the effective and judicious fiscal and investment management of the City’s funds. The City’s portfolio shall be designed and managed in a manner that will provide a market rate of return consistent with the public trust and the prioritized objectives of safety, liquidity and yield.
Governing Authority
The City’s investment program shall be managed in conformance with federal, state and other legal requirements, including California Government Code (Government Code) Sections 16429.1 through 16429.4, and 53600 through 53686 (“State Law”). This Investment Policy is endorsed and adopted by the City Council with an effective date as indicated above. This Investment Policy shall replace all previous versions.
Scope
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of the City as accounted for in the annual comprehensive financial statements. Policy statements outlined in this Policy focus on the Cityʹs pooled surplus funds but will also apply to all other funds under the Finance Director’s span of control unless specifically exempted by resolution.
Proceeds arising from the issuance of debt shall be invested in accordance with the provisions of their governing bond documents and in a manner consistent with the City’s general investment philosophy as outlined in this Investment Policy. Retirement, pension funds, deferred compensation funds, and funds invested in irrevocable trusts dedicated to future payment of retirement and post‐employment benefit obligations (“IRS Code Section 115 Trusts”) are also not governed by this Investment Policy, but rather by the policies, trust documents, and federal or State statutes explicitly applicable to such funds.
Objectives
The prioritized objectives of the City’s investment program are to: 1) preserve principal (Safety), 2) ensure sufficient liquidity to meet operational and capital needs (Liquidity), and 3) generate a market rate of return (Return), as described below.
1259 of 1325
City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026 January 1, 2025
1) Safety – Safety or preservation of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio and to mitigate credit risk (the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer) and market risk (the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates).
2) Liquidity – An adequate percentage of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid short‐term securities which can be converted to cash, if necessary, to meet disbursement requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio will consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets. A portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer same‐day liquidity for short‐ term funds.
3) Yield or Return on Investment – The Cityʹs investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the Cityʹ s investment risk constraints and liquidity needs.
Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of the investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed.
Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity, except under the following circumstances:
Liquidity needs require that the security be sold;
A security with declining credit may be sold at the first notice of downgrading to minimize the loss of principal;
A security swap that will improve the quality yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
Managing Portfolio and Investment Risks
Safety of principal is the foremost investment objective of the City. Each investment transaction shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether from securities default, broker/dealer default, or erosion of market value. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. In a diversified portfolio, it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating credit risk and market risk as set forth below. 1260 of 1325

Investment Policy

Mitigating Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City shall seek to mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
Adhering to the diversification requirements set forth in the Authorized Securities and Transactions section of this policy which limit the amount of the total portfolio that may be invested in any single issuer.
Utilizing an active management strategy that allows for the sale of securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates for purposes of improving the portfolio’s credit quality, liquidity, or yield in response to changing market conditions or City circumstances. Reviewing downgraded securities. Should the credit rating of a security owned by the City be downgraded to a level below that required by this Investment Policy, the City will review the credit situation and determine if such securities should be sold or retained in the portfolio based upon its remaining term to maturity, the credit outlook for the issuer, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Monitoring any downgraded securities. If the decision is made to retain a downgraded security, it will be closely monitored by the City and reported on quarterly to the City Council.
Mitigating Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of a security or portfolio will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City understands that while longer‐term portfolios have the potential to generate higher investment returns over time, they also exhibit a greater volatility of return. In addition, the City furtherrecognizes certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded call options, will affect the market risk characteristics of the portfolio differently. Accordingly, the City will mitigate market risk by adopting the following strategies:
The City shall maintain sufficient balances in short‐term investments to provide liquidity for expected and contingent expenditures.
Liquidity funds shall be maintained in short‐term investments such as LAIF, deposit accounts collateralized in accordance with State Law, and money market funds and instruments with minimal market risk.
Longer‐term securities shall be scheduled to mature in advance of known expenditure requirements whenever possible.
The City shall avoid the purchase of securities for the sole purpose of short‐term speculation.

Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026 January 1, 2025
The maximum stated final maturity of any security in the portfolio shall be five years, except as otherwise stated in this Investment Policy.
At least 10% of the portfolio must be invested in securities that mature in less than 1 year. The maximum percentage of callable securities (excluding securities with “make whole” call provisions) held in the portfolio shall be 30%. The weighted average duration of the actively managed portion of the portfolio, i.e. non liquidity funds, shall be calculated and maintained at a rate based upon the City’s risk tolerances and investment objectives.
Standard of Care
The standard of prudence to be used by City investment officials shall be the “Prudent Investor Standard” and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. As set forth in California Government Code Section 53600.3, the Prudent Investor Standard states:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment 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 familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
Consistent with the objectives set forth in this Investment Policy, in addition to safeguarding invested principal and ensuring sufficient liquidity for the City, a prudent investor should also seek to optimize return or yield subject to these constraints.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Investment officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or could impair or create the appearance of an impairment of their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Manager any business interests they have in financial institutions that conduct business with the City and they shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the City. The Finance Director and his/her designee shallfile a Statement ofEconomic Interests eachyearpursuantto California Government Code Section 87203 and regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission. 1262 of 1325

Investments not specifically described as Authorized Securities and Transactions in this Policy are prohibited.
In accordance with California Government Code Section 53601.6, investments in inverse floaters, range notes, mortgage‐derived interest‐only strips, and any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity are prohibited. The purchase or sale of securities on margin is prohibited. The purchase of securities denominated in foreign currencies is prohibited. The purchase or sale of securities done solely to speculate on the direction of future interest rates is prohibited.
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, any such monies shall be reinvested only as provided for in this Policy.
Portfolio Maturities and Liquidities
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities. At least 10% of the portfolio must be invested in securities that mature in less than one year and the City will not invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. The weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio shall not be more than three years. Both Agency and Non‐Agency Mortgage‐Backed Securities and Asset‐Backed Securities may be measured by their Weighted‐Average‐Life when determining allowable maturity limits. Reserve funds and other funds with longer‐term investment horizons may be invested in securities exceeding five years if the maturities are made to coincide as nearly as practical with the expected use of funds, and the City Council 1266 of 1325
City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026 January 1, 2025
has, by resolution, granted authority to make such an investment.
Portfolio Performance
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account prevailing market conditions, risk constraints for eligible securities and cash flow requirements. The performance of the Cityʹ s investments shall be compared to the average yield on the Local Agency Investment Fund, assuming the State does not adversely affect LAIFʹs returns due to budget constraints.
Selection of Brokers/Dealers
The Finance Director shall maintain a list of broker/dealers approved for investment purposes and it shall be the policy of the City to purchase securities only from those authorized firms.
These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c3‐1 (uniform net capital rule).
Institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City must be licensed by the State of California as a broker/dealer as defined in Section 25004 of the California Corporations Code and may include:
Primary Government Dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank; Regional broker/dealers qualified under SEC Rule 15c3‐1; National or state‐chartered banks;
The Federal Reserve Bank; or
Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Each authorized broker/dealer shall be required to submit and periodically update a City‐ approved Broker/Dealer Information Request form that includes the firmʹs most recent financial statements. The Finance Director shall maintain a list of the broker/dealers that have been approved by the City, along with each firmʹs most recent broker/dealer Information Request form. Each broker/dealer shall receive a copy of the Investment Policy and a list of those authorized to execute investment transactions. Each firm must acknowledge receipt of such materials to qualify for the approved list of broker/dealers.
The City may purchase commercial paper from direct issuers even though they are not on the approved broker/dealer list as long as the investment meets the criteria set forth in the Authorized Securities and Transactions section of this Investment Policy.
Selection of Banks
The Finance Director shall maintain a list of banks approved to provide depository and other banking services for the City. To be eligible, a bank must be a member of the Federal Deposit 1267 of 1325
City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026 January 1, 2025
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), must qualify as a depository of public funds in the State of California, as defined in California Government Code Section 53630. 5, and shall secure deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with California Government Code Section 53652.
Safekeeping and Custody
Third‐Party Safekeeping
To protect against fraud, embezzlement, or losses caused by the collapse of an individual securities dealer and to enhance access to securities and interest payments, all securities owned by the City shall be held in safekeeping by a third‐party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a duly executed custody agreement. In connection with the City’s annual independent audit, securities held in custody are audited to verify investment holdings. All exceptions to this safekeeping policy must be approved by the Finance Director in written form and be included in the quarterly reporting to the City Council.
Delivery‐Versus‐Payment
All trades of marketable securities shall be cleared and settled on a standard delivery‐versus‐ payment (“DVP”) basis to ensure that securities are deposited in the City’s safekeeping account prior to the release of funds.
Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Accordingly, the Finance Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal control shall address the following points:
Control of collusion;
Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping; Custodial safekeeping;
Avoidance of physical delivery of securities;
Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members; Written confirmation of transactions for investment and wire transactions; and Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third‐party custodian.

Reporting
The Finance Director shall submit investment reports quarterly to the City Council which should include a list of the portfolio’s holdings by investment asset class, name of institution, purchase date, maturity date, call date, par value, amount of deposit or cost of security, amortized book value, current market value of securities, coupon and effective yield. In addition, the report will indicate the portfolio’s duration, total weighted average maturity and yield. The report will be signed and mandated in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53607 and 53646.
Weighted‐Average‐Life (WAL)
The weighted‐average‐life (WAL) of each structured security shall be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with the individual 5‐year WAL limitation. WAL measures the average length of time for anticipated principal repayments and serves as a primary metric for evaluating interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk, calculated using proprietary models that incorporate security‐level assumptions and macroeconomic inputs. All WAL data shall be maintained forrecord‐keeping purposes. Securities with a WAL greaterthan four years shall be monitored monthly for reporting trends, and any security with a WAL greater than five years shall be flagged for immediate review to determine whether the security shall be held or liquidated based on prevailing risk and market conditions.
Investment Earnings
With the exception of monies held in certain restricted and special funds, the City commingles its investable assets to maximize interest earnings and to increase efficiencies with respect to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective percentage of participation in the total fund and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and State Law.
Policy Review
The City of Union Cityʹs Investment Policy shall be adopted by City Council resolution. It shall be reviewed at least annually by the Finance Director to ensure its consistency with the Cityʹs overall investment objectives and its relevance to current law and economic trends. The Investment Policy, including any recommended amendments, shall be submitted to City Council annually for approval and adoption by resolution. 1269 of 1325

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 familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
Consistent with the objectives set forth in this Investment Policy, in addition to safeguarding invested principal and ensuring sufficient liquidity for the City, a prudent investor should also seek to optimize return or yield subject to these constraints.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Investment officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or could impair or create the appearance of an impairment of their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Manager any business interests they have in financial institutions that conduct business with the City and they shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the City. The Finance Director and his/her designee shallfile a Statement ofEconomic Interests eachyearpursuantto California Government Code Section 87203 and regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission. 1273 of 1325

Prohibited Investments and Practices
Provided below are certain prohibited investments and investment practices intended to help safeguard invested balances:
Investments not specifically described as Authorized Securities and Transactions in this Policy are prohibited.
In accordance with California Government Code Section 53601.6, investments in inverse floaters, range notes, mortgage‐derived interest‐only strips, and any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity are prohibited. The purchase or sale of securities on margin is prohibited. The purchase of securities denominated in foreign currencies is prohibited. The purchase or sale of securities done solely to speculate on the direction of future interest rates is prohibited.
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, any such monies shall be reinvested only as provided for in this Policy.
Portfolio Maturities and Liquidities
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities. At least 10% of the portfolio must be invested in securities that mature in less than one year and the City will not invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. The weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio shall not be more than three years. Both Agency and Non‐Agency Mortgage‐Backed Securities and Asset‐Backed Securities may be measured by their Weighted‐Average‐Life when determining allowable maturity limits. Reserve funds and other funds with longer‐term investment horizons may be invested in securities exceeding five years if the maturities are made to coincide as nearly as practical with the expected use of funds, and the City Council 1277 of 1325
City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026
has, by resolution, granted authority to make such an investment.
Portfolio Performance
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account prevailing market conditions, risk constraints for eligible securities and cash flow requirements. The performance of the Cityʹ s investments shall be compared to the average yield on the Local Agency Investment Fund, assuming the State does not adversely affect LAIFʹs returns due to budget constraints.
Selection of Brokers/Dealers
The Finance Director shall maintain a list of broker/dealers approved for investment purposes and it shall be the policy of the City to purchase securities only from those authorized firms.
These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c3‐1 (uniform net capital rule).
Institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City must be licensed by the State of California as a broker/dealer as defined in Section 25004 of the California Corporations Code and may include:
Primary Government Dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank; Regional broker/dealers qualified under SEC Rule 15c3‐1; National or state‐chartered banks;
The Federal Reserve Bank; or
Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Each authorized broker/dealer shall be required to submit and periodically update a City‐ approved Broker/Dealer Information Request form that includes the firmʹs most recent financial statements. The Finance Director shall maintain a list of the broker/dealers that have been approved by the City, along with each firmʹs most recent broker/dealer Information Request form. Each broker/dealer shall receive a copy of the Investment Policy and a list of those authorized to execute investment transactions. Each firm must acknowledge receipt of such materials to qualify for the approved list of broker/dealers.
The City may purchase commercial paper from direct issuers even though they are not on the approved broker/dealer list as long as the investment meets the criteria set forth in the Authorized Securities and Transactions section of this Investment Policy.
Selection of Banks
The Finance Director shall maintain a list of banks approved to provide depository and other banking services for the City. To be eligible, a bank must be a member of the Federal Deposit 1278 of 1325
City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), must qualify as a depository of public funds in the State of California, as defined in California Government Code Section 53630. 5, and shall secure deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with California Government Code Section 53652.
Safekeeping and Custody
Third‐Party Safekeeping
To protect against fraud, embezzlement, or losses caused by the collapse of an individual securities dealer and to enhance access to securities and interest payments, all securities owned by the City shall be held in safekeeping by a third‐party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a duly executed custody agreement. In connection with the City’s annual independent audit, securities held in custody are audited to verify investment holdings. All exceptions to this safekeeping policy must be approved by the Finance Director in written form and be included in the quarterly reporting to the City Council.
Delivery‐Versus‐Payment
All trades of marketable securities shall be cleared and settled on a standard delivery‐versus‐ payment (“DVP”) basis to ensure that securities are deposited in the City’s safekeeping account prior to the release of funds.
Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Accordingly, the Finance Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal control shall address the following points:
Control of collusion;
Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping; Custodial safekeeping;
Avoidance of physical delivery of securities;
Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members; Written confirmation of transactions for investment and wire transactions; and Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third‐party custodian.

City of Union City
Investment Policy
Dated: July 1, 2026
Reporting
The Finance Director shall submit investment reports quarterly to the City Council which should include a list of the portfolio’s holdings by investment asset class, name of institution, purchase date, maturity date, call date, par value, amount of deposit or cost of security, amortized book value, current market value of securities, coupon and effective yield. In addition, the report will indicate the portfolio’s duration, total weighted average maturity and yield. The report will be signed and mandated in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53607 and 53646.
Weighted‐Average‐Life (WAL)
The weighted‐average‐life (WAL) of each structured security shall be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with the individual 5‐year WAL limitation. WAL measures the average length of time for anticipated principal repayments and serves as a primary metric for evaluating interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk, calculated using proprietary models that incorporate security‐level assumptions and macroeconomic inputs. All WAL data shall be maintained forrecord‐keeping purposes. Securities with a WAL greaterthan four years shall be monitored monthly for reporting trends, and any security with a WAL greater than five years shall be flagged for immediate review to determine whether the security shall be held or liquidated based on prevailing risk and market conditions.
Investment Earnings
With the exception of monies held in certain restricted and special funds, the City commingles its investable assets to maximize interest earnings and to increase efficiencies with respect to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective percentage of participation in the total fund and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and State Law.
Policy Review
The City of Union Cityʹs Investment Policy shall be adopted by City Council resolution. It shall be reviewed at least annually by the Finance Director to ensure its consistency with the Cityʹs overall investment objectives and its relevance to current law and economic trends. The Investment Policy, including any recommended amendments, shall be submitted to City Council annually for approval and adoption by resolution. 1280 of 1325

Why Update the Investment Policy?
• The City has an Investment Policy that governs cash, treasury, and investment management functions.
• The California Local Agency Investment Guidelines and California Code Section 53601 (“53601”) are updated every year, though oftentimes the updates are minor.
• An annual review of the Investment Policy is good fiscal practice to ensure a City remains compliant with 53601 and reflects the latest version of 53601.
• The current Investment Policy Statement remains compliant with California Government Code Section §53601.
• However, updates to the Code in recent years have expanded investment flexibility for local agencies while preserving the core principles of safety, liquidity, and return.
1288 of 1325

What are the Proposed Changes?
a) Clarifying the maturity of agency asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities to be measured by Weighted-Average-Life (WAL), which is not to exceed 5 years, pursuant to CA Code §53601(o).
b) Increasing the maximum allowable maturity for commercial paper to 397 days, pursuant to CA Code §53601(h).
c) Setting the maximum portfolio allowance for bankers’ acceptances in any one commercial bank to 30%, pursuant to CA Code §53601(g).
d) Clarifying that the current maximum allowance for any LAIF account is $75 million.
e) Enhancing the reporting data inputs for more informative monitoring of the Fixed Income portfolio's exposures and risk across security type. f) The recommended threshold limit updates above reflect the latest allowable limits within CA Code 53601. While these limits may not be fully utilized, it's important to maintain flexibility given dynamic market conditions. 1289 of 1325

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 6.4
DATE: May 26, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Receive the Quarterly Investment Report as of April 30, 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Quarterly Investment Report presentation as of April 30, 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This staff report aligns with Goal A: Financial Stability and Sustainability.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Cash Investment Portfolio assets are governed by the California Government Code (“CA Code”) as found in the California Local Agency Investment Guidelines. As a fundamental principle, CA Code Section 53600.3 states that a City is the ultimate Fiduciary on all public funds subject to the prudent investor standard. Further, CA Code Section 53601 specifies the allowable investments that a City may purchase to achieve the ultimate goals of safety, liquidity, and yield. While risk is inherent throughout the investment process, the CA Code is meant to provide a structural framework within which City officials may construct their Cash Investment Portfolios.
In May 2025, after a review of the overall Cash Investment Portfolio allocation and fees, it was determined that increased yields and fee savings can be achieved by adopting Shuster Advisory Group’s (“Shuster”) recommendation to reallocate the Cash Investment Portfolio, without sacrificing the ultimate goals of safety and liquidity. Shuster is the same firm that took over fiduciary responsibilities of the employee’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan and 401(a) plan in 2022, and the Section 115 Trust program in 2024.
As a fiduciary for the City, Shuster has evaluated the City’s Cash Investment Portfolio to identify opportunities for reallocation between General Cash, LAIF, CLASS, and its Fixed Income investments. As of April 30, 2026, the City’s Cash Investment Portfolio totaled $89,898,998, with approximately $8.8 million in General Cash, $10 million in LAIF, $45.1k in CLASS, and $71.1 million in Fixed Income investments. 1291 of 1325

Historical Bond YTM & Market Value Total Investment Holdings as of 4/30/2026 - $80.5M Market Commentary Global financial markets experienced a dramatic reversal during April, as a powerful equity rally more than offset the losses of a turbulent first quarter. The S&P 500 Index surged more than 10% in April, its strongest monthly gain since November 2020, lifting the index roughly 5% above its year-end 2025 level. The rally was driven by better-than-expected corporate earnings, tentative ceasefire developments in the Middle East, and a historic 17.5% advance in the technology sector. Meanwhile, the 10-year U.S.
Treasury yield edged higher to 4.39% as rising inflation expectations weighed on bond prices.
The Federal Reserve held rates steady at 3.50% - 3.75% for a third consecutive meeting, with four dissents, the most since 1992, reflecting deep division over the policy path. The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair, adding uncertainty to the monetary outlook. With headline inflation running at 3.8% and core CPI at 2.8%, the current environment continues to offer attractive yields from high-quality bonds even as rate cut expectations have faded.
Despite surging energy costs and ongoing geopolitical conflict, growth fundamentals remain broadly intact. U.S. GDP grew at
2.0% in the first quarter, S&P 500 profit margins reached a record
14.7%, and major technology firms have committed over $700 billion in capital investment for 2026, underscoring continued corporate resilience.

Moody’s defines credit risk as the risk that an entity may not meet its contractual financial obligations as they come due and any estimated financial loss in the event of default or impairment. The contractual financial obligations addressed by Moody’s ratings are those that call for, without regard to enforceability, the payment of an ascertainable amount, which may vary based upon standard sources of variation (e.g., floating interest rates), by an ascertainable date. Moody’s rating addresses the issuer’s ability to obtain sufficient cash to service the obligation, and its willingness to pay. Moody’s ratings do not address non-standard sources of variation in the amount of the principal obligation (e.g., equity indexed), absent an express statement to the contrary in a press release accompanying an initial rating. Long-term ratings are assigned to issuers or obligations with an original maturity of eleven months or more and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment. Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment. Moody’s issues ratings at the issuer level and instrument level on both the long-term scale and the short-term scale. Typically, ratings are made publicly available although private and unpublished ratings may also be assigned. Source: Moody's "Rating Symbols and Definitions”, 2025 edition. https://ratings.moodys.com/api/rmc-documents/53954 2 - Standard & Poor’s Official Rating Descriptor/Definition: An S&P Global Ratings issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and considers the currency in which the obligation is denominated. The opinion reflects S&P Global Ratings' view of the obligor's capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due, and this opinion may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default.

3 - Fitch’s Official Rating Descriptor/Definition: Fitch Ratings publishes credit ratings that are forward-looking opinions on the relative ability of an entity or obligation to meet financial commitments. Issuer default ratings (IDRs) are assigned to corporations, sovereign entities, financial institutions such as banks, leasing companies and insurers, and public finance entities (local and regional governments). Issue level ratings are also assigned, often include an expectation of recovery and may be notched above or below the issuer level rating. Issue ratings are assigned to secured and unsecured debt securities, loans, preferred stock and other instruments, Structured finance ratings are issue ratings to securities backed by receivables or other financial assets that consider the obligations’ relative vulnerability to default. Credit ratings are indications of the likelihood of repayment in accordance with the terms of the issuance. In limited cases, Fitch may include additional considerations (i.e., rate to a higher or lower standard than that implied in the obligation’s documentation). Please see the section Specific Limitations Relating to Credit Rating Scales for details. Credit ratings express risk in relative rank order, which is to say they are ordinal measures of credit risk and are not predictive of a specific frequency of default or loss. Fitch’s credit ratings do not directly address any risk other than credit risk. Credit ratings do not deal with the risk of market value loss due to changes in interest rates, liquidity and/or other market considerations.
However, market risk may be considered to the extent that it influences the ability of an issuer to pay or refinance a financial commitment. Ratings nonetheless do not reflect market risk to the extent that they influence the size or other conditionality of the obligation to pay upon a commitment (for example, in the case of payments linked to performance of an equity index).

Background
• For over 30 years, Shuster, and its prior affiliates have provided retirement plan consulting to both corporate and public sector plans.
• Recognizing a gap in quality and independent advisory services in the public sector over a decade ago, Shuster entered the sector in 2013.
• Since our first public sector client engagement in 2015, we have onboarded over 100 new agency clients, encompassing over 225 public agency plans. Currently, we serve as the adviser for more than 250 qualified retirement plans. • Our comprehensive plan audit, RFP process and investment advisory services have resulted in significant cost reductions and improved safety of principal options for plan participants.
• Unwavering focus on delivering state-of-the-art, low cost and compliant retirement plans to our plan sponsor customers and their employees.
