16.4Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - July 2023Information
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 41001 and 41002 generally provide that all money received by or apportioned to a school district shall be paid into the county treasury to be placed to the credit of the proper fund of the district. Pursuant to California Education Code Section 41015, the District may invest all or part of funds deposited in a Special Reserve Fund or any surplus monies not required for the immediate necessities of the District in any of the investments specified in California Government Code Sections 16430 or 53601. Historically, districts in San Mateo County have been depositing all of their funds into the county treasury. The County Treasurer has made investment decisions for the school districts, which is not a unique practice statewide. School district funds on deposit with the county treasury, along with funds deposited by other agencies, are placed in a County investment pool, and profits and losses realized from these invested funds are shared among the pool participants in proportion to the amount invested. Financial Impact: Gross pool earnings for Month ending July 2023: 3.509% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.67 years with an average duration of 1.53 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
