Investment Philosophy:
The CalTRUST Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Long-Term Accounts
have been created to facilitate the centralization of the
investment management function on behalf of California local
agencies. The CalTRUST Board of Trustees selected Metropolitan West Securities, LLC
to serve as Investment Adviser to the Trust. Effective February 1, 2007, Metropolitan West Securities, LLC, became Wachovia Portfolio Services.
Following the investment policy direction established by
the Board of Trustees, the primary objective of the investment
manager shall be to safeguard the principal. The secondary
objective shall be to meet the liquidity needs of the participants
and the third objective shall be to maximize the yield in
a manner consistent with the first two objectives. The objective
of the investment policy is to obtain the best possible return
commensurate with the degree of risk that participants are
willing to assume in obtaining such return.
Wachovia Portfolio Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia Bank, is an
investment advisory, asset management, and broker/dealer firm
specializing in short-term fixed income asset management and
securities lending. Wachovia Portfolio Services (formerly Metropolitan West Securities, LLC) was established in 1992 and has
a national client base consisting of major institutional funds
and corporate portfolios.
As of December 2006, Metropolitan West Securities, since renamed Wachovia Portfolio Services, had over $60.3 billion in assets under management. Wachovia Portfolio Services is responsible for the decision
to buy and sell the securities for the Trust and arrange for
the execution of security transactions on behalf of the accounts.
Wachovia Portfolio Services' senior executives bring decades of public agency funds
management experience and demonstrated success in the management
of California public sector funds to the Trust.
