Should you have any restrictions on gains? What data will you need to assess potential volatility in an investment strategy? What is an appropriate impairment policy?

14 Assess whether greater credit risk is acceptable Considerations Besides using agency ratings, how will you assess and monitor credit quality of potential investments/issuers? Do you have the ability and resources in-house to assess credit quality or should you outsource? What will be your guidelines for credit allocation? How often will you review credit quality and your credit risk exposures? What is the agreed course of action if a security or issuer is downgraded, put on watch or falls below your minimum credit quality standards? Consider also how you expect to be notified of a downgrade event or threat in a timely way. Is this information that can be captured in-house or tasked to a third party?

What proportion of the portfolio should you allocate to different maturities, given your liquidity requirements? What should be the maximum duration for the overall portfolio? What will be the agreed course of action if immediate liquidity requirements cannot be met?

17 Review your investment policy How and by whom in the company will the investment policy be approved, reviewed and modified? On what frequency will the investment policy be formally reviewed? In what circumstances, if any, can exceptions to the investment policy be made – and how would these be approved?

18 Decide how your investment strategy will be executed Do you want an investment strategy imposed and managed locally, regionally or globally? Do you want to use in-house resources or outsource? What will be the process and criteria for selecting and monitoring third- party providers? What type of metrics and reports will be required and how frequently?
