Pension Department
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Miami City Employees' Retirement System Board
that the contracts with Allied Capital Management Corporation, Bankers
Trust Company, Invesco Capital Management, Inc. and Kemper Financial
Services, Inc., providing investment management services to the System,
be ratified by the Miami City Commission.
Background
Currently, the investment of the funds is being administered by 3 money
managers. The System Board of Trustees, at their special meeting of
September 3, 1981, chose to employ 4 money managers in the future and
to update the investment guidelines given to them.
The enclosed contracts use the same fee schedule that has been used in
the past, and the addition of the fourth money manager will create only
a minimal additional expense to the fund which will be compensated by
a much higher return on the investments.
