Sue Walton expressed thanks to everyone Investment policies to change for board The Investment of taxpayers money by the Board of Education will have to be done either with chartered banks or trust companies backed by banks The change in policy comes hist months after the board suffered through the threat of losing K million when the provincial government seized the assets of Crown Trust which held Hal tan money In a report to the board vicechairperson Betty Fisher noted that from time to time the board Is In a position to invest surplus money for short terms The new policy statement on the investment of these funds is designed to provide guidance to ad ministration staff In this type of investment The security of the principal mutt be the first consideration in any Investment Fisher said It must also be readily market able Investments will be limited to those organizations with a rating of Rl middle to high in accordance with Dominion Bond Rating Service Commercial Paper Ratings Fishers report stated Chartered banks arc considered R middle while it is usually foreign banks falling Into high Most trust companies are low and do not fall under the new board policy Burlington trustee Bill admitted Crown Trust is not rated but It was recommended by the government as a sound Investment A company having an rating Is a high grade prime credit the policy statement read Its ability to repay its current liabilities as they fall due is very high and ability to do long term financing and a strong parent exists The level of profit ability has been reasonable and relatively stable with only modest fluctuations The firm is of sufficient size to be a strong in in Its industry Companies are also rated with the category as upper middle or lower By definition it takes a very strong company to be classified as a middle or an upper Rl The new policy also limits the investment to million to any one Trust Company falling within the middle or upper classes was against this part of the statement pointing out that often the board has several millions of dollars sitting in bank accounts waiting to be spent on pay rolls etc By limiting the Investment to million in each place the board would have several bank accounts at several different banks Those companies with an Rl rating are Chartered banks Montreal Bank of Nova Scotia Royal Bank Toronto Dominion Bank and
