Custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the <strong>College</strong> will not be able<br />

to recover the value of investments that are in the possession of an outside party. The <strong>College</strong>’s investment policy<br />

requires all investments to be purchased on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis with the underlying investment<br />

held by an independent third party, acting as an agent of the <strong>College</strong>, in the <strong>College</strong>’s name. At June 30, 2007, the<br />

repurchase agreements were exposed to custodial credit risk as the securities underlying the repurchase agreement<br />

were held in safekeeping by the counterparty.<br />

As of June 30, 2008, the <strong>College</strong> had investments and maturities as follows:<br />

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counter party to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The <strong>College</strong><br />

has adopted a policy to minimize credit risk by limiting investments types, pre-qualifying the financial institutions,<br />

broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the <strong>College</strong> will do business and diversifying the investment<br />

portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be<br />

minimized.<br />

Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest<br />

rates. The <strong>College</strong>’s Investment Policy provides for the structuring of the investment portfolio so that securities<br />

mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell maturities on the open<br />

market prior to maturity. The policy also provides for the investing of operating funds primarily in shorter-term<br />

securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity of the portfolio<br />

in accordance with this policy.<br />
