Fixed Income Investment Philosophy

Our Core Beliefs

 Yie ld wins o ve r time , but no t all the time . Our rigorous research allows us to add value through sector allocation by identifying when we are being appropriately compensated for taking credit risk.  Change s in fundame ntals drive se c urity se le c tio n re turns. The analysis of forward-looking measures of credit quality allows us to identify companies that we believe will outperform and avoid those that will underperform.  Risk manage me nt is c ritic al to suc c e ss. Minimizing downside risk and avoiding permanent loss of principal are primary goals.

Outcomes

 Our research-oriented and disciplined investment process focuses on fundamentals and valuations.  A countercyclical, value-driven approach produces excess returns primarily through sector allocation and security selection rather than a static overweight to risky positions or interest rate timing.  Returns are highly correlated to the overall bond market, but excess returns are generally often lowly or negatively correlated to bond manager peers.

We believe the role of fixed income is to provide principal preservation, income, and risk reduction through diversification.

T his philosophy is the founda tion of our inve stme nt pr

Sector Allocation

Sector and quality decisions incorporate fundamental, valuation, and momentum / sentiment market conditions.

Security Selection

Risk-budgeting framework measures magnitude of each excess return strategy on a forward-looking basis, while attribution provides real-time feedback.

Investment Guidelines

Hig h Qua lity Inte rme dia te F ixe d Inc ome Be nc hma rk

Barclays Intermediate Government Credit Index

F ixe d Inc ome Se c uritie s

The fixed income portion of the Trust shall be invested in marketable, fixed income securities. Corporate bond issues shall be diversified by industry and in number so that no investment in the securities of a single issue shall exceed 7% (at market) of the value of the portfolio. Single industry weightings will be a maximum of 25%, except US Government and agency securities. Fixed income investments are expected to preserve capital and provide a high level of income on a consistent basis. The fixed income investments shall be appropriately diversified although the investment manager may engage in "active" bond management. It is therefore anticipated that there may be turnover as shifts are made between and within sectors, quality and maturity. Average duration of the fixed income asset class will be targeted within a range of three to ten years. Each manager is expected to keep duration at +/- one year of the benchmark duration.

Pe rmissible Dire c t Inve stme nts:

 Commercial Paper of only the highest quality shall be used when invested on an individual basis  Certificates of Deposit of the top 100 national banks, so long as they are stated on the Controller's list  Bankers Acceptances  United States Treasury Bonds, Notes and Bills

Investment Guidelines

Pe rmissible Dire c t Inve stme nts:

 Repurchase agreements with U.S. Treasury Securities and agencies of the U.S. Government as collateral (marking to the market daily). The investment policy shall require all approved institutions and dealers transacting repurchase agreements to execute and perform as stated in the Master Repurchase Agreement. All repurchase agreement transactions shall adhere to the requirements of the Master Repurchase Agreement.  Debt instruments issued or backed by agencies of/or guaranteed by the U.S. Government  All investment grade corporate debt issues including those rated Baa3/BBB- better by Moody's Investors Services and/or Standard and Poors Corporation. In the case of a split rating, the higher rating shall apply. Securities downgraded subsequent to purchase resulting in violations of quality guidelines may be held at the manager's discretion subject to the high yield limitations indicated below.  Mortgages, including agency, non-agency, commercial backed securities and CMO’s (as long as all other provisions are met).  Futures (but must not exceed 15% without prior approval by the Board) and Options. However, these securities may not be used to leverage or hedge the portfolio.  Preferred Stock  Municipal Bonds  Asset backed securities  Yankee bonds/foreign credits  Commingled and mutual funds  Eurodollar bonds  20% maximum of each manager’s portfolio may be invested in aggregate to Yankee bonds, Foreign credits, Eurodollar bonds and Rule 144A Securities.  20% maximum of each manager’s portfolio may be invested in high yield securities (with ratings of CCC or better).

Managers are specifically prohibited from using derivative or synthetic securities whose characteristics as implemented by the manager include potentially high price volatility and whose returns are speculative or leveraged (when considered together with liquid/short-term securities positions) or whose marketability may be severely limited, without written authority from the Board.

Bond Market Review and Outlook

Fed Policy

 Ultra-easy monetary policy has increased the valuation of risk assets but done little to improve growth or inflation.  Markets have become very dependent on policymakers and when liquidity has been reduced, risk assets have fallen.  Central bank policies have distorted incentives and normal market signals have been clouded.  The Fed is no longer adding stimulus but withdrawing liquidity.  Policy tightening is occurring in a much slower growth environment and later in the economic cycle than past rate hikes.  This will likely produce greater uncertainty, increased risks, unintended consequences, and higher volatility.

Fundamentals

 Numerous indicators show we are late in the credit cycle.  Leverage is at record levels and credit fundamentals continue to weaken.  Ultra-easy monetary policy has produced negative side effects for creditors as problem-credits/defaults are increasing.  Shareholder enhancement activity has peaked which historically has been a sign of a turn in the credit cycle.  Given the current excesses in credit markets, the next downturn in the credit cycle could be severe and long-lasting.

Valuations

 Credit spreads are priced for perfection and do not reflect the risks in the current environment.  The recent dramatic backup in rates makes reaching for yield in credit less compelling.

Momentum / Sentiment

 Without a recovery in underlying fundamentals, it will be difficult for the outperformance of credit to continue.
