SUMMARY:GFOA AB & CIBC Present | Investing For Success: Investment Policy Statements for Municipal Investors
DESCRIPTION:Investment Policy Development\nApril 9th\, 2026| 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrief Introduction:\nThe Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is a document that provides guidance for the investment objectives\, restrains\, and parameters for the creation and management of a municipality’s investment portfolio. The IPS is the blueprint for the municipal investment management process. By clearly laying out all relevant goals\, guidelines\, and restrictions\, a well-written IPS equips the investment manager to build a portfolio that maximizes return while minimizing risk. Additionally\, an important benefit of an IPS is the layer of objectivity that it adds to the investment process.\ni
