DISCUSSION: Securities lending is a cash management strategy involving the lending of the City's securities to a primary dealer with the substitution of securities of greater market value being safe-kept by a third party custodial bank in an account in the City's name. The program is designed so that the City earns supplemental income on the portfolio without losing ownership or interest payments on the loaned securities. The safety of the City's securities is guaranteed. All revenues are deposited in th, General Fund. The primary dealer will use the borrowed securities in several ways. With these high quality securities, the dealer can borrow money at a lower interest rate. The dealer can use the funds to finance its own investment positions or to invest in short-term, higher yielding investments. The borrowed bond can also be used to correct "fails." When any investor buys a bond from a primary dealer, the primary dealer often is buying it from another institution, which is also buying it from someone, etc. Any breakdown in this chain causes "fails" down the line. If a primary dealer has access to bonds through security lending, it can avoid "fails" and any associated costs. The City Council first approved the contract for a securities lending program with Morgan Stanley an, with the Bank of New York as custodian on October 17, 1989. Those agreements were last amende on January 29, 2002, (M&C C-18940). During the past two years, Morgan Stanley has used the City' portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities and benchmark securities of the Federal National Mortgage Association and of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The City has been compensated at a rate of 9 basis points (0.09%) times the market value and accrued interest earnings of the portfolio for Treasuries and 7 basis points (0.07%) for the agency securities. The City receives this fee monthly regardless of lending activity. Recently issued Treasuries, referred to as "on-the-run," are compensated at a rate of 35 basis points. There are no costs to the City. Morgan Stanley pays all custodial fees related to the program. The current amendment expires on November 30, 2004. The new amendment will run for one year http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=3062&councildate=11/9/2004 2/16/2009 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 with four annual options to renew and re-negotiate the fee structure to reflect prevailing market conditions. No other investment firm expressed interest in the program. Assuming an average portfolio of$157 million in Treasuries and $190 million in agency securities, Morgan Stanley's proposal will generate $275,000 in fees for this fiscal year. Morgan Stanley paid $306,000 in fees to the City in the previous fiscal year. Since its inception, the program has generated $2,600,000 for the General Fund. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that the Finance Department, Revenue Office, will be responsible for the collection of fees due the City under the program. All fees will be deposited in the General Fund.
