II. Diversifying the portfolio so that potential losses on individual or total securities will be minimized

Interest Rate Risk

The fund will minimize the risk that the market value of
securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by:

on the open market prior to maturity

Liquidity

This will be accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands. Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio shall consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets. Negotiable securities may be sold prior to their maturity to provide liquid funds as needed for cash flow purposed.

Yield

he investment portfolio shall be managed with the objective of attaining a competitive rate of return given the constraints of the aforementioned safety and liquidity objectives.The Board of Trustees will periodically establish benchmark yields for various categories of the fund’s investments. To ensure long-term objectives are met, securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
