The Public Investment Portfolio - A Step-by-Step Examination of Public Investment Securities | State of California Office of the State Treasurer

2015
Webinar

This CDIAC investment webinar series is designed to guide public agencies in the development and management of an investment portfolio. Public fund management in California allows for the investment officer to select instruments set forth in Government Code sections 16429.1, 53601, 53601.6, 53601.7, 53601.8, 53635, 53635.2, 53638 and 53684. Each investment instrument comes with a differing level of risk, requiring public investors to undertake a full assessment of each. To help public investment officials in this process, CDIAC intends to provide a series of webinars that focus on major investment categories and the investment options within each. These webinars will examine each instrument type, review the statutory authority, and analyze how the investment’s features may or may not achieve a local agency’s investment policy objectives.

Note: This series is a companion to CDIAC’s Public Investment Primer and Local Agency Investment Guidelines.
