Comparison Yields – October 2016 through August 2017
Each local government investment pool (LGIPS) being compared is governed by the same specific state statutes, but each may have its own unique investment policy to further restrict permissible investments. Consequently, such LGIPS may vary in investment strategy, style, and fee structure. Such differences may account for variances in yield, weighted average maturities and portfolio composition. Figures are an average of the daily yields for the month. Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Any financial and/or investment decision may incur losses. See Additional Disclosures for more information. *Yields shown are average daily yields for the month of August 2017. Source: Public Trust Advisors, LLC,

VIP Liquid vs. S&P AAA/AA GIP Comparison 30 Day Net Yields
The benchmark, the S&P US AAA & AA Rated GIP All 30 Day Net Yield (LGIP30D) is a performance indicator of rated GIPs that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share and is an unmanaged market index representative of the LGIP universe. The S&P benchmark utilized in this comparison is a composite of all rated stable net asset value pools. GIPs in the index include only those rated based on Standard & Poor’s money market criteria. Pools rated ‘AAAm’ provide excellent safety and a superior capacity to maintain principal value while those rated ‘AAm’ offer very good safety and a strong capacity to maintain principal value (Source: Standard & Poor’s website). The comparison between this index and the portfolio may differ in holdings, duration, fee, and percentage composition of each holding. Such differences may account for variances in yield. Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Any financial and/or investment decision may incur losses. *30-day yield as of August 31, 2017 ** as of August 31, 2017 Source: Public Trust Advisors, LLC and Bloomberg
