C. Rebalancing Policy
The Portfolio’s actual asset allocation may drift away from its target asset allocation as a result of the
varying periodic returns earned on investments in different asset and sub-asset classes. The purpose of
a structured rebalancing policy is to provide a disciplined investment process that maintains the
risk/reward relationship implied by the target asset allocation. The Commission will rebalance the
Portfolio to the Target Allocation found in the Appendix as follows:
- Utilizing incoming cash flow (contributions) or outgoing money movements (disbursements) to realign the current weightings to the target asset allocation of the Portfolio on an ongoing basis.
- Reviewing the Portfolio at least once each calendar quarter quarterly (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31) to identify any deviation(s) from the Target Allocation and acting within a reasonable period of time if any asset class (equity, fixed income, alternatives, real estate, or cash) within the Portfolio is +/- five (5) percentage points from its target weighting, the Portfolio will be rebalanced.
- Rebalancing the Portfolio at any other time if the Commission, in its discretion, deems it appropriate to do so.
