TITLE
Investment Activity Report for the First Quarter, Fiscal Year 2026. CEQA Status – Not a Project.
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational report and no City Council action is required.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is presented in accordance with California Government Code Section 53646 and the
City’s Investment Policy.
As of September 30, 2025, the consolidated portfolio totaled $606.2 million (par value),
including $534.6 million in investments and $71.6 million in liquid accounts. The investment
portfolio was in full compliance with the City’s Investment Policy, and staff projects adequate
liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.
Attachments in this report provide detailed cash and investment information, including
portfolio holdings, performance metrics, and related financial summaries.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Investment Policy is reviewed and approved annually by Council and establishes the
framework for managing public funds in accordance with the Prudent Investor Standard under
state law. The policy outlines authorized investment types, maturity and credit quality limits,
diversification requirements, and reporting standards to ensure the objectives of safety,
liquidity, and yield.
The policy also requires the Administrative Services Department to provide the City Council
with monthly and quarterly investment reports, consistent with California Government Code
53646. Monthly reports provide details on investment activity during the period, such as
purchases, calls, redemptions, and maturities. This quarterly report summarizes the City’s
investment holdings, portfolio performance, and compliance with the City’s Investment Policy
and California Government Code.
Beginning in FY 2026, the City transitioned from managing its investment portfolio in-house to
partnering with Chandler Asset Management (Chandler) for professional investment
management services, including cash flow forecasting, investment advisory and strategy, policy
review, and active portfolio management.

ANALYSIS
Portfolio Overview: As of September 30, 2025, the City’s consolidated portfolio totaled $606.2
million (par value), including $534.6 million in investments and $71.6 million in liquid accounts.
The investment portfolio had an average duration of 2.3 years and an average credit quality of
AA+. The duration is slightly below Chandler’s recommended positioning of 2.5 years within a
one-to-five-year maturity range.
Graph 1 below illustrates the City’s portfolio by security type, reflecting how funds are allocated
across permitted investment categories.
Investments by Type - $606.2 Million (Par Value)
Table 1 summarizes the portfolio’s maturity structure, which supports the City’s liquidity
objectives and duration strategy.
Investment Performance and Activity: For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the City’s
portfolio average market yield was 4.01% compared to 3.66% for the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S.
Treasury & Agency Index benchmark. The portfolio earned a total return of 0.40% for the
quarter, exceeding the benchmark return of 0.24%. Because Chandler began managing the
City’s portfolio mid-quarter, results reflect a shorter timeframe and early portfolio positioning.
Future reports will show performance over longer periods as the strategy takes shape.
th, yield for LAIF and the two-year
U.S. Treasury were 4.20% and 3.57%, respectively.

Although these are not direct performance benchmarks, they provide useful context for
evaluating the portfolio’s positioning relative to short-term liquidity returns and broader
market conditions.
Compliance and Credit Standards: All new purchases met or exceeded the policy’s minimum
credit rating of AA or Aa2. No corporate note securities experienced downgrades requiring
review1, and the portfolio remained in full compliance with policy credit standards.
Economic Outlook: Economic growth slowed in the third quarter of 2025, with easing inflation
and continued uncertainty from tariffs and fiscal policy. Signs of a softer labor market emerged,
and the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate by 0.25% to a range of 4.00 to 4.25%,
signaling the possibility of additional cuts later in the year.
Cash Flow Outlook: Cash flow needs fluctuate over the course of the fiscal year as a result of
cyclical revenue patterns, with larger inflows from major revenue sources such as property tax
receipts occurring in the second half of the year. One-time activities, such as the annual
prepayment of pension obligations and large capital expenditures, also influence these
1 The Investment Policy (https://www.paloalto.gov/files/assets/public/v/2/administrative-services/investment-
policies/investment-policy-fy-2025-2026.pdf) requires that if a medium term corporate note is downgraded to a
level below AA or Aa2, that staff review the credit situation of the issuer and determine whether to sell or retain
the investment.
patterns. The City’s investment strategy aligns with these cycles by timing maturities and
maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet ongoing needs as they occur.
Funds Held by Fiscal Agents and Trustees: The City holds bond proceeds, reserves, and debt
service funds with fiscal agents, which are invested in accordance with the respective bond
indentures. The City also maintains a Section 115 Pension Trust with Public Agency Retirement
Services (PARS), governed by the City’s Retiree Benefit Funding Policy.

ECONOMIC UPDATE

▪
▪
▪
Recent economic data suggest slower growth in 2025 and greater market uncertainty as the effects of fiscal policy unfold. Inflation
pressures have eased, though core levels remain above the Federal Reserve’s target, while tariffs continue to cloud forecasts. Signs of a
softer labor market are emerging, prompting expectations that the Fed will move cautiously toward policy normalization. Given the
economic outlook, we expect gradual normalization of monetary policy and a steeper yield curve.
The Federal Reserve lowered the Federal Funds Rate a quarter percentage point to the range of 4.00 –4.25% upon conclusion of the
September Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The move was telegraphed by the Fedand in line withmarket expectations. Stephen
Miran was the only opposing vote in the 11-1 decision as Governor Miran called for a larger 50 basis point rate cut. Chair Powell said
concerns over signs of a softening labormarket prompted the policy shift. Policymakers also updated their economic forecasts penciling in
two additional quarter-point cuts through year-end.
The US Treasury yieldcurve flattened in September,as the 2-yearTreasury yield declined 13 basis points to 3.57%, the 5-year Treasury also
down 13 basis points to 3.66%, and the 10-year Treasury yield declined 14 basis points to 4.12%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-
year Treasury yield points on the curve decreased to +54 basis points at September month-end versus +61 basis points at August month-
end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was 14 basis points. The spread between the 3-
month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was +21 basis points in September versus +8 basis points in August.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) fell by 0.5%in August, following a 0.1% increase in July. The LEI decreased by 3.6%
year-over-year. The Conference Board is expecting economic growth to slow in the second half of 2025 due to consumer pessimism, soft
manufacturing new orders, and negative impacts from tariffs. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came in at -0.12%in
August after a downwardly revised -0.28 in July, indicating that economic momentum remained below its historical trend for the fifth
consecutive month. The three-month moving average shows a similar trend at -0.18 in August from -0.20 in the prior month signaling
ongoing below-trend growth in national economic activity.

Manufacturing activity contracted at a slightly slowerrate as the Institute forSupply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Index edged up to
49.1 in September, from 48.7 in August yet remaining below the expansion threshold, signaling the seventh consecutive month of
contraction in the manufacturing sector. Production growth factored intothe gain, although drops in neworders andinventories offset the
increase. The ISM Services Index fell to 50.0 in September from 52.0 in August, which is the breakeven point between expansion and
contraction. The 2.0-point decline generally indicated moderate to weak growth, with only isolated reports of supplier delivery delays.
Employment remained in contraction territory, reflecting delayed hiring plans and ongoing challenges in finding qualified workers.

In a sharpreboundfromthe first quarter, real GDP increased at an annualized rate of 3.8%in the second quarter of 2025 according to the
final data revision from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The increase in real GDP in the second quarter was driven by the drop in
imports following the significant rise in the first quarter in anticipation of higher tariffs and an increase in consumer spending. The

The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to a range of 4.00%to 4.25%at its September meeting,as
officials responded to mounting signs of labor market weakness. Chair Jerome Powell said the move was aimed at cushioning the
slowdown while keeping policy restrictive enough to fight lingering inflation. The Fed kept its balance-sheet runoff unchanged,
maintaining a $5 billion monthly cap on Treasuries and $35 billion on agency and mortgage-backed securities. Since launching its
Quantitative Tightening campaign in June 2022, the Fed has reduced its securities holdings by about $2.35 trillion, bringing the total down
to roughly $6.6 trillion.

2025 Chandler Asset Management, Inc, An Independent Registered Investment Adviser.
Information contained herein is confidential. Prices are provided by ICE Data Services Inc (“IDS”), an independent pricing source. In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the
price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation
policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.
Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include
the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any
specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors,
market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.
Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or
custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not
possible to invest directly in an index.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the
possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on
greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.
Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee
its accuracy.
Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency
guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest.
