MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: January 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2022-08 — The Investment Allocations Of And Establishing
Appropriate Benchmarks To Measure Performance Of The City's
Permanent Funds For Calendar Year 2022.
Pursuant to KMC 7.30.020 the Council annually designates by resolution, the authorized
investments and allocation plan for the City's Permanent Funds. Resolution No. 2022-08
establishes the allocation plan and evaluation benchmarks to be used for calendar year 2022. This
year's allocation differs from last year's plan. Ordinance 3269-2022 increased the portfolio's
authorized investments to add High Yield Domestic Bonds and Alternative Beta as new asset
classes. This new portfolio is projected to yield 6.15% on average, a 0.03% decrease over the prior
year's portfolio, however the new portfolio is projected to have an annual risk of 10.09% compared
to the prior portfolio's risk of 11.02%. The new portfolio represents a decrease of 0.93% of portfolio
risk, an 8.43% reduction of overall risk while only sacrificing 0.03% of projected return.
Annual risk is the variation in the expected return of the portfolio at one standard deviation,
approximately 68% of all occurrences. The risk of the portfolio is doubled at two standard deviation,
95% of all occurrences. For the proposed portfolio which has an expected annual return of 6.62%
and a ten-year expected return of 6.15%, 68% of the time the portfolio should annually return
between (3.47)% and 16.71% and 95% of the time the portfolio should return annually between
(13.56)% and 26.80%
In addition to changes in the asset allocation is the addition of two new benchmarks by which the
two new asset classes will be measured. The return of the High Yield Domestic Bonds allocation
will be measured against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Very Liquid Bond index
and the return of the Alternative Beta allocation will be measured against the Wilshire Liquid
Alternatives Index.
The following is a comparison between the 2021 asset allocation and the recommended 2022 asset
allocation for your review.
Note: The 2021 asset allocation's performance expectations have been updated using 2022 capital market
expectations for comparison purposes.
Your support for adoption of Resolution 2022-08 is respectfully requested.
