B. Budget & Finance – Dr. Wade King • Our investment account was previously managed by Hilliard Lyons Trust. When Hilliard Lyons was purchased by Baird, this fund was closed and we were placed in a mutual fund account at a total cost of 1.51%. After further discussion with Baird it was recommended we change to a core and satellite model that more closely represents what we had at Hilliard Lyons. 1. Te total expense of the portfolio will be reduced from 1.51% to 1.18%. Tis represents a saving of nearly $2,000 annually.
2. Te portfolio will be periodically rebalanced to ensure we maintain the stated asset allocation of 60% Equity and 40% Fixed Income.
3. Te securities in the portfolio will be selected to ensure they are in-line with our long-term investment thesis. • Motion to approve the recommended change to the Core and Satellite portfolio provided by Baird VOTE: APPROVED
• Will work on developing an Investment Statement Policy (ISP) 1. Tis will help guide investment decisions in the future
