Investment Policies and Strategies<br />

The assets of the pension plan are invested in accordance with the objectives of (1) fully funding the actuarial accrued<br />

liability for the pension plan, (2) maximizing return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk in order to minimize contributions,<br />

and (3) maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet benefit payment obligations on a timely basis. The pension plan operates with several<br />

risk and control procedures, including ongoing reviews of liabilities, investment objectives, investment managers and performance<br />

expectations. Transactions involving certain types of investments are prohibited. Equity securities held by the pension plan during the<br />

periods presented did not include <strong>SCANA</strong> common stock.<br />
