Cash Management Proposal Issue: UVU currently invests all “working capital cash” in Utah State Treasurer’s Pool. Cash is liquid and safe but only earns at the lowest “short term” rates. Proposal: That UVU take some of its not used and available “working capital cash” and invest it in “Intermediate-Term Investments,” enhancing earnings on cash (approximately four times the rate), while following all Utah Money Management Act requirements, in prudent investments in CDs, Treasuries, Agency Bonds and high-rated Corporate Bonds.

Cash Management Proposal Enhance earning on cash Diversify portfolio Ladder investments for liquidity Continued compliance with the Money Management Act

Cash Management Strategy Safety of principal  UVU currently deposits all its “cash” with the Utah State Treasurer’s Pool. (Safe, but all cash with single entity) Need for liquidity  This “pool” is very liquid Yield on investment  PTIF has a low yield UVU follows the State Money Management Act criteria for investing

Proposal to Increase Yield All investments strictly follow the Utah Money Management Act Purchase intermediate-term high grade investments Investments will be laddered for liquidity All investments are held in the name of the University
