Questions & Answers

FLCLASS Enhanced Cash

  • What are the investment objectives of FLCLASS Enhanced Cash?

  • The general objective of FLCLASS Enhanced Cash is to obtain an increased level of investment income while preserving capital and offering weekly liquidity to its Participants. The Enhanced Cash pool will invest in high-quality, short-term fixed-income investments authorized by Florida Statutes. The Enhanced Cash pool is structured to provide an investment vehicle for participants who wish to invest monies not needed for daily liquidity.

  • What types of securities are purchased for FLCLASS Enhanced Cash?

  • All investments made on behalf of FLCLASS Enhanced Cash will comply with the provisions of the FLCLASS Enhanced Cash Investment Policy and Florida law relating to the investment of public funds; investment funds may only be invested in a manner that is permitted pursuant to Florida’s Investment of Local Government Surplus Funds Act, Chapter 218, Part IV and the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969.

  • Is FLCLASS Enhanced Cash rated?

  • Yes, the FLCLASS Enhanced Cash portfolio is rated ‘AAAf/S1’ by FitchRatings.

    The ‘AAAf’ rating is Fitch’s opinion on the overall credit profile within a fixed-income fund/portfolio and indicates the highest underlying credit quality of the pool’s investments. The ‘S1’ volatility rating is Fitch’s opinion on the relative sensitivity of a portfolio’s total return and/or net asset value to assumed changes in credit spreads and interest rates. The ‘S1’ volatility rating indicates that the fund possesses a low sensitivity to market risks. For a full description of rating methodology, please visit www.fitchratings.com. Ratings are subject to change and do not remove credit risk.

  • Does FLCLASS Enhanced Cash seek to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value (NAV)?

  • Enhanced Cash will be a variable NAV fund managed to approximate a $10.00 transactional share price, calculating and publishing a fair value NAV on a daily basis. The FLCLASS Enhanced Cash portfolio has designated a $10.00 transactional share price in order to clearly differentiate the portfolio from a traditional $1.00 stable NAV fund. While $0.50 and $2.00 are examples of other variable NAV strike prices, a $10.00 per share NAV is one of the most commonly used strike prices for variable NAV funds.
