Investments may be made in the various classes of fixed income instruments as follows:
Corporate Bonds. Publicly traded bonds are to be selected and managed so as to assure an appropriate balance in quality and maturities consistent with current market and economic conditions. Although active bond management is encouraged, excessive emphasis on short-term trading is not considered appropriate. Nonconvertible bonds may be selected from among those rated within the top three categories of the recognized bond rating services. Private or direct placement bonds may be purchased only upon specific approval of each issue by the University President.
Government and Agency Bonds. Investments may be made in any U.S. Government issued debt instrument with an initial maturity of over one year and in any debt instrument issued by agencies of the U.S. Government with an initial maturity of over one year and which are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
