(b) The purpose of the fund is to permit voluntary deposit of funds by a governmental entity where those funds may benefit from the intermediate or long-term investments authorized by this article.

(d)  The Intermediate and Long Term Investment Advisory Board shall recommend to the Treasurer the moneys in the Surplus Money Investment Fund or the Local Agency Investment Fund which qualify to participate in the Intermediate and Long Term Investment Fund.
(e) The Treasurer may refuse to accept deposits into the fund if, in the judgment of the Treasurer, the deposit would adversely affect the state’s portfolio.
(f) Money in the fund shall be invested to achieve the objective of the fund, which is to realize the maximum return consistent with safe and prudent management.
(g) All instruments of title of all investments of the fund shall remain in the Treasurer’s vault or be held in safekeeping under control of the Treasurer in any federal reserve bank, or any branch thereof, or the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, with any trust company, or the trust department of any state or national bank.
(h) Immediately at the conclusion of each calendar quarter, all interest earned and other increment derived from investments shall be distributed by the Controller to the contributing governmental units or trustees or fiscal agents, nonprofit corporations, and quasi-governmental agencies in amounts directly proportionate to the respective amounts deposited in the Intermediate and Long Term Investment Fund and the length of time the amounts remained therein. An amount equal to the reasonable costs incurred in carrying out the provisions of this section, not to exceed a maximum of 5 percent of the earnings of this fund and not to exceed the amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act for this function, shall be deducted from the earnings prior to distribution. However, if the 13-week Daily Treasury Bill Rate, as published by the United States Department of the Treasury, on the last day of the state’s fiscal year is below 1 percent, then the above-noted reasonable costs shall not exceed a maximum of 8 percent of the earnings of this fund for the subsequent fiscal year, shall not exceed the amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act for this function, and shall be deducted from the earnings prior to distribution. The amount of the deduction shall be credited as reimbursements to the state agencies, including the Treasurer, the Controller, and the Department of Finance, having incurred costs in carrying out the provisions of this article.

Summary: Existing
(1)
Existing
law creates the Local Agency Investment Fund, a trust fund in the custody of the Treasurer, in which local governments and other specified governmental entities may deposit, for investment, moneys that are not required for immediate needs. Existing law authorizes the Treasurer, with the advice of the Local Investment Advisory Board, to invest the moneys in the fund. Existing law requires the board to be made up of 5 members, including the Treasurer or his or her representative, 2 members appointed by the Treasurer who are experienced in the field of investment, and 2 members appointed by the Treasurer who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers, or business managers employed by a county, city or local district, or municipal corporation of this state.

This bill would create the Intermediate and Long Term Investment Fund to receive voluntary deposit of funds by a governmental entity so that those funds may benefit from the intermediate or long-term investments authorized by this bill. The bill would, in addition, authorize investment of moneys that are deposited in the Intermediate and Long Term Investment Fund in long-term corporate and government bonds, in gold, and in convertible securities.
This bill would establish the Long Term Investment Board. The board would consist of 5 members with the Treasurer as the chair.
