Investment Review for City of South Bend Corporate AgencyPrepared by Paul Gifford
The Consumer & Manufacturing
Data as of: January 6, 2026
Labor & Economic Growth
Data as of: January 6, 2026
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics
•Real GDP grew at an annualized 4.3% in Q3 2025, supported by strong
consumer spending, exports, and government outlays. For Q4 2025,
the Atlanta Fed projects growth of 2.7% as of January 5, 2026,
reflecting slower momentum amid weaker consumption and
investment forecasts.
•PCE totaled $21.1 trillion in Q3 2025, rising from Q2 and driven by
robust services spending, including healthcare, housing, and
recreation. For Q4 2025, real PCE was forecast to grow at an
annualized 2.7% according to the Atlanta Fed, indicating continued but
moderating consumer activity.
•Federal government consumption and gross investment reached $1.99
trillion in Q3 2025, up from Q2, with national defense spending
contributing notably to the increase. Federal spending growth was
expected to moderate, consistent with broader forecasts showing
cooling economic momentum toward year-end.
•The largest drag on Q4 2025 GDP is projected to come from reduced
personal consumption and private investment, as early forecasts
showed declines in both categories following the government
shutdown and weakening demand conditions.

CASH MANAGEMENT &
INVESTMENT POLICIES
24
ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE POLICIES
City of South Bend Cash Management and Investments Policy
Section 1. Authority
The City Controller (the “Controller”) of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the “City”) adopts this statement of policy (this “Policy”) pursuant to the Controller’s authority as the head of the Administration and
Finance Department (the “Department”) under South Bend Municipal Code Section 2-21(b).
Section 2. Background and Purposes
The purpose of this Policy and the accompanying supplements is to set forth policies and procedures related to the City’s management of cash and investments. The City is permitted to invest funds in accordance with
Indiana Code 5-13-9.
Maintaining adequate access to liquid assets (cash and investments) is of paramount importance to the City. The City’s liquidity is a major component of its overall fiscal health. The ability to access adequate cash
reserves when needed is important for maintaining service levels during periods of lowered tax revenue or for ensuring that non-discretionary expenses (such as debt service) are adequately funded. Additionally,
maintaining strong cash reserves is one of the foundations of the City’s General Obligation Bond Rating, which is currently one of the highest in the state.
In addition to the importance of maintaining strong liquidity, it is important that the City strive to increase
its investment and interest income, within the confines of Indiana law and prudent financial management. Indiana law strictly limits the types of investments that the City is permitted to hold, which constrains
income opportunity but also reduces risk of investment loss. This Policy will define the City’s investment philosophy and procedures designed to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The City recognizes that cash management procedures (including receipt, deposit, and reconciliation) carry
inherent risk that must be mitigated with appropriate internal control procedures. This Policy will outline these internal controls that must be followed to protect employees and ensure that the City remains a good
steward of taxpayer dollars.
The City’s financial system is Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (“DFO”). DFO serves as the sole record of cash balances, cash receipts, and cash payments in the City. Any cash receipts that are
initially recorded in a separate system must also be recorded in DFO. See the City of South Bend Revenue Recognition Policy for more information.
Section 3. Roles and Responsibilities
Controller
The Controller is responsible for the overall cash management and investment strategy for the City. It is the Controller’s responsibility to define acceptable cash reserve requirements and enforce corrective actions (as
prescribed in this Policy) when cash reserve requirements are not met. Additionally, it is the Controller’s responsibility to oversee the City’s investments, including hiring and providing oversight to outside
investment management consultants. Finally, the Controller is responsible for designing cash management
procedures (including cash receipt and reconciliation) that mitigate inherent risks of cash handling through
strong internal control. In fulfilling the Controller’s responsibilities under this Policy, the Controller is assisted by the Deputy City Controller and may delegate all appropriate authority to the Deputy City
Controller to achieve the purposes of this Policy.
25
Director of Treasury
Under the direction of the Controller, the City’s Director of Treasury is responsible for the day-to-day
management of the City’s cash and investment portfolio. This includes performing all bank reconciliations and resolving discrepancies, as well as serving as the point of contact for City employees, bank
representatives, or investment management professionals on matters of cash handling, cash management, or
investment management. The Director of Treasury is also responsible for ensuring that correct cash
handling procedures are followed.
Directors of Department Finance
Directors of Department Finance are responsible for ensuring that cash receipts are correctly entered into
DFO as they are received by various members of their assigned departments. Additionally, Directors of Department Finance work with the Director of Treasury to ensure that proper cash handling procedures are
followed in each department and to identify cash receipts that are received by the Director of Treasury
(especially those received via wire transfer or automated clearing house (ACH)).
Section 4. Establishment of Procedures
Except as otherwise provided, it is the Controller’s responsibility to establish, direct, modify, and otherwise maintain, from time to time as the Controller may determine in the Controller’s discretion, the procedures
for carrying out the administrative and financial activities associated with the subject matter of this
Policy. Due to the fundamental importance of maintaining strong cash reserves and the inherent risks
associated with handling cash reserves, the Controller has established, both within and without DFO, certain rules and procedures for all divisions of the City to protect the City’s financial position and safeguard
the City’s assets, including appropriate internal control measures in accordance with the City of South Bend
Internal Control Policy and its supplemental materials. Those rules and procedures are included as
supplements to this Policy and may be amended, supplemented, or eliminated from time to time as the Controller may deem appropriate, without the need for further approval of the Mayor or amendment to this
Policy.
Section 5. Effective Date and Approval
This Policy is effective on May 1, 2021, and supersedes all prior policies addressing the same subject matter.
26
ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE POLICIES
Supplement 202 – Investments
The City shall invest excess cash in various investment vehicles as allowed by Indiana law. The City shall
make all investments, in both Deposit and Investment Accounts, in accordance with the terms and
limitations of Indiana Code 5-13-9. The current authorization for the City to engage in these investment
activities comes from Ordinance No. 10993-23. The City's practice is to obtain authorization via an
ordinance on an annual basis, so as to maintain the maximum investment flexibility under Indiana Code
5-13-9.
Board of Finance
The local Board of Finance (as defined in Indiana Code 5-13-7) will review the investment policy and will
receive an investment report on an annual basis coincident with the Annual Meeting of the Board of
Finance, held after the 1st Monday in January and before January 31st.
Valuation of Investments
Currently, the total amount invested is $200 million. On a monthly basis, the City’s investment custodian
(currently 1st Source) transfers any gain in market value over $200 million or direct dividends paid from
investments into the City’s depository bank account. This investment income is allocated using the
procedures described in Supplement 203.
The City will not track the current fair market value of investments on a monthly basis in DFO. Rather, the
City's books will be adjusted for FMV of investments on an annual basis only.
27
