Seminar Description

Advanced Public Funds Investing: The Analytics of Investment Selection and Portfolio Decision-Making
In Collaboration with California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA)
January 27-28, 2016
The Mission Inn, Riverside, CA

In the summer of 2015, CDIAC produced a series of webinars called The Public Fund Investment Portfolio. The series provided a thorough examination of the types of instruments that are permitted for local government investment under California Government Code 53601. This two-day seminar is designed to build on the webinar series by providing a more advanced analysis of each instrument’s features and risks in the context of a portfolio structure. The seminar will cover the more advanced concepts underlying sound public portfolio decision-making and include a practicum allowing seminar participants to put concepts into practice through an investment portfolio case-study simulation.
