The investment is made in two separate portfolios: the first <br />for $6.7 million in a Conservative portfolio which is available to pay the annual unfunded <br />liabilities if necessary, and the second for $21.3 million in a long-term Capital Growth portfolio. <br /> <br /> <br />In February 2020, the City Council authorized Finance staff to deposit, and withdraw from, the <br />Conservative portfolio an additional amount up to the total annual required CalPERS payment. <br />In March and December 2020, two additional $5.0 million contributions were deposited into <br />the Conservative portfolio for a total of $16.7 million deposited into the Conservative portfolio. <br /> <br />As presented in the chart below, the Conservative portfolio balance was $21.3 million at the <br />end of September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.4 million from the prior quarter. The <br />Conservative portfolio investment return for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was 2.16 <br />percent, and the five-year annualized return was 4.15 percent. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 43 of 323
