News release
For the 31st consecutive year, the city of Santa Clarita has received the Investment Policy Certificate of Excellence Award from the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada.
The city earned this recognition for its Fiscal Year 2025-26 Investment Policy, which demonstrates success in developing a comprehensive written investment policy, the city announced in a news release.
In order to receive certification, investment policies must be carefully reviewed by the association’s Investment Policy Certification Committee, the release said. The committee is comprised of 15 public and private sector volunteers from across North America.
For a policy to receive certification, it must be approved by all reviewers on 18 areas spelled out in the Model Investment Policy. This policy includes elements the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada deems essential to a written investment policy such as policy, scope, delegation of authority, ethics and conflicts of interest.
