HomeMy WebLinkAboutInvestment Policy Memo 10-1-13 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF) FROM: The Administrator, Florida League of Cities, Inc. RE: Amendment to the FMPTF Investment Policy DATE: October 1, 2013 The FMPTF Board of Trustees adopted an amendment to the FMPTF Investment Policy at the September 26, 2013 meeting. These changes are effective October 1, 2013. The Administrator has implemented new offerings through the FMPTF programs. These include an additional DROP distribution option under the Defined Benefit Program and participant directed investments (outside of the standard mutual fund offering) for the Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation Programs. The FMPTF Defined Benefit Program has many retirement plans with a Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP). Currently, DROP participants leave their balances commingled in the DB plan assets until the DROP balance is paid to the participant. With the addition of a self-directed option to DROP, participants may now utilize the same platform and investment options as the FMPTF Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation programs. Additionally, the Administrator has added a stable value investment option (asset class) for the FMPTF Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation programs. The following revisions have been made to the FMPTF Investment Policy: Updated section XII. Defined Benefit Plan Specifications to add the Defined Benefit Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) Updated section XIII. Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation Plan Specifications to add the Self Directed Investment Option and Stable Value option Updated section XIII. Asset Classes and Performance Measurement for DC Plan options Clarify effective date of amendments We are developing administrative guidelines to incorporate these new services and will distribute the information when it becomes available.
