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 December 31, 2025, the consolidated portfolio totaled $658.9 million (par value), including $537.5 million in investments and $121.4 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. 1, and this report is presented in accordance with the policy in effect prior to those changes. Future quarterly investment reports will reflect the updated policy. Attachment A. The Investment Quarterly Report as of December 31, 2025 is included in Attachment B. A complete list of current and historical holdings, as well as the City’s Investment Policy, are available on the City’s website: www.paloalto.gov/investmentreporting. ANALYSIS Portfolio Overview As of December 31, 2025, the City’s consolidated portfolio totaled $658.9 million (par value), including $537.5 million in investments and $121.4 million in liquid accounts. The investment portfolio had an average duration of 2.56 years and an average credit quality of AA+. The duration is closely aligned to 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. 1 City Council, February 09, 2026: Agenda Item #3: SR #2512-5767 https://recordsportal.paloalto.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=85314&dbid=0&repo=PaloAlto 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 December 31, 2025, the City’s portfolio average market yield was 3.87% compared to 3.55% for the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury & Agency Index benchmark. The portfolio's total return for the quarter was 1.56%, exceeding the benchmark return of 1.35%. These results reflect the shorter performance period beginning in August 2025, when portfolio management transitioned to Chandler. Future reports will include longer-term performance measures as the investment strategy continues to be implemented. During the quarter, $52.5 million in securities were purchased, $5.5 million were called or redeemed, and $33.4 million matured. Table 2 summarizes key portfolio characteristics including maturity, duration, yield, and credit quality. As of December 31st, the yield for LAIF and the two-year US Treasury were 3.98% and 3.48%, respectively. While 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.

Economic Outlook The near-term economic outlook remains somewhat unclear due to delays in federal economic data following the government shutdown. Recently released data indicate inflation remains moderately above the Federal Reserve’s target, while labor market conditions continue to soften. Cash Flow Outlook Cash flow needs fluctuate over the course of the fiscal year due to 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 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.

ATTACHMENT B TABLE OF CONTENTS ECONOMIC UPDATE ACCOUNT PROFILE CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS 1 ATTACHMENT B ECONOMIC UPDATE 2 ATTACHMENT B ▪ ▪ ▪ The near-term economic outlook continues to be distorted by the data delays from the government shutdown. Recently released government data—reflecting conditions from two to three months ago—indicate inflation remains moderately above the Federal Reserve’s target, while labormarket conditions have continued to soften.As the flow of economic data normalizes, the Chandlerteam expects further yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve moves the policy rate toward a more neutral range. U.S. trade and fiscal policy alsoremain sources of elevated market uncertainty. The Federal Reserve's December Federal Open Market Committee meeting concluded withthe thirdconsecutive 25-basis-point rate cut in 2025,lowering the target range to 3.50%–3.75%.However, policymakers remain divided on the path forward. Four Fed governors project one additional 25-basis-point cut in 2026,anotherfouranticipate no furthereasing, eight expect multiple cuts, andthree call for a potential rate hike. Chair Jerome Powell notedthat the Fed is now “well placed to wait and see”howlabor market conditions andinflation evolve in the near term. The US Treasury yieldcurve steepened in December,as the 2-year Treasury yield dropped2 basis points to 3.48%, the 5-year Treasury was up 13 basis points to 3.73%, and the 10-year Treasury yield was 15 basis points higher at 4.17%. The spread between the 2-year and 10- year Treasury yield points on the curve was 17 basis points widerfrom November at +69 basis points at Decembermonth-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year agowas +33 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was +54 basis points in December versus +21 basis points in November.

The drop in vacancies, alongside slower hiring, suggests the labor market continues to soften, though employers remain cautious about laying off workers. The number of openings now roughly matches the number of unemployed individuals, pointing to a labor market that is approaching equilibrium.

Notably, both Owners’Equivalent Rent and Rent of Primary Residence contributed to the slowdown in services inflation. Shelter costs typically lag broader market trends by 12 to 18 months. Services, meanwhile, have remained the dominant driver of inflation throughout the post-pandemic period. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index for September, released on December 5, showed headline inflation up 0.3% from August and 2.8% year over year. Core PCE rose 0.2% on the month and 2.8% on an annual basis.

The government shutdown may have weighed on consumer confidence regarding jobs, incomes, andoverall financial conditions, bothcurrent and in the future. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index declined to 89.1 in December from an upwardly revised 92.9 in November, marking its fifth consecutive monthly drop.

According to the Conference Board, weakening expectations among consumers and businesses contributed most to the LEI’s overall decline. The index continues to signal slower economic growth through the end of 2025 and into 2026.The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came in at -0.21 in September, following a downwardly revised -0.31 in August, signaling that U.S. economic activity remained below its historical trend for the sixth consecutive month. The three-month moving average ticked down to -0.21 in September from -0.18 in August, reinforcing signs of ongoing below-trend national growth. Employment-related indicators turned slightly positive, contributing +0.01 in September after a -0.11 result in August.

Manufacturing activity has now been in contraction for 36 of the past 38 months,as readings below 50 indicate contraction andthose above 50 signal expansion. The latest decline was driven primarily by pullbacks in the Production and Inventories components.In contrast, the ISM services index remained in expansion territory, rising to 54.4 in Decemberfrom 52.6 in November. Respondents attributed the improvement to seasonal strength, though many remained cautious about the potential impact of tariffs.

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.

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.

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. 36 ATTACHMENT B BENCHMARK DISCLOSURES Benchmark Disclosure ICE BofA 1-5 Year Unsubordinated US Treasury &Agency Index The ICE BofA 1-5 Year Unsubordinated US Treasury & Agency Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated US Treasury and nonsubordinated US agency debt issued in the US domestic market.
