Key Components of an Investment Strategy
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES — State Statutes and your
investment policies dictate that Investment objectives include
safety of capital, liquidity of funds and yield.
‘S L Y’ = SAFETY + LIQUIDITY + YIELD

![Page 12: Investment Strategies and the Role of the FHLB](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012019/6168768bd394e9041f6fbd7d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Strategies: Cash Flow
![Page 13: Investment Strategies and the Role of the FHLB](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012019/6168768bd394e9041f6fbd7d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Strategies: Barbell
• Concentrates holdings in both short-term and long-term maturities
to avoid the intermediate terms of the yield curve
• Allows one portion of the portfolio to achieve high yields while the
other portion minimizes risk and creates liquidity to invest elsewhere
• Works best when long-term yields fall and short-term yields rise
![Page 14: Investment Strategies and the Role of the FHLB](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012019/6168768bd394e9041f6fbd7d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Strategies: Diversification
• Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
• Take advantage of different products
• Include fixed rates, step-ups, bullets,
callables and other structured securities
• Ladder maturities and call dates
Diversification can help you manage risk and reduce the overall
impact that changing rates might have on your CD/bond portfolio.
