    Meets liquidity needs;

    Allows for appropriate diversification of investments; and

    Delivers good yields in relationship to the guidelines and market conditions.

    The Company seeks to avoid market risk and credit risk, and will generally sacrifice yield in the interest of safety. Care must always be taken to insure that the Company's reported financial statements are never materially affected by decreases in the market value of securities held.

II.    MATURITY OR PUT

    Within the constraints provided throughout this Policy, or by addendum to this Policy, the maximum maturity or put of any investment instrument will be within two years from the purchase settlement date; however, the total portfolio must have an average maturity of less than 12 months.
