Investments
Investing public funds is a very specialized and a restricted type of investing. State laws dictate the types of investments that treasurers can use. In Nevada County, the Treasurer has added further restrictions on public fund investments and holds the Prudent Investor Standard in the highest regard.
Standards
The Prudent Investor Standard states: "A California trustee must follow the "prudent investor" standard, exercising reasonable care and skill in managing the trust assets, just as if she were prudently investing her own money. Anyone evaluating the trustee should judge how her decisions affect the trust as a whole, rather than in isolation. A trustee is legally obligated to diversify the trust investments whenever that makes financial sense and must not run up excessive costs managing the trust."
