CITY INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Moreno Valley has adopted an investment policy that is specific to the City’s investment
goals. This policy is reviewed by the City Council annually and includes the list of allowable securities
while also addressing other key functions related to portfolio management. By law the list of allowable
securities can be more restrictive that the Government Code but it cannot be broadened.
The Investment Policy has also been reviewed by both the Association of Public Treasurers of the United
States and Canada (APTUS&C) and the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) and has
received certification from both organizations. To learn more about the City’s investment practices,
