LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. The City valued its investments in LAIF as of June 30, 2015, at the market value. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the account balance with LAIF times a fair value factor of 1.000375979 which is determined by LAIF. This fair value factor was determined by dividing all LAIF participants’ total aggregate amortized cost by total aggregate fair value. The City’s investments with Local Agency Investment Funds (LAIF) at June 30, 2015, included a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included the following: • Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash-flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend on one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options. • Asset-backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as CMOs) or credit card receivables. 51
