David Kelly of Bowen & Hanes presented an overview for the quarter ending Sept. 30,2011. This fiscal year we are up 8.8%,but
the bad news is we were up almost 16% and then in August & Sept. we lost all of our retums for the fiscal year. Showing us that
we have had tremendous volatility in the market. Tim Nash asked David to explain the Treasury bond portfolio. He explained
they do not like Treasury bonds because the interest rates ar� artificially low & manufactured to be low. Anything that is artificial
they stay away from.
"Tim Nash introduced a fellow consultant Jack Evatt. Tim stated, due to scheduling conflicts, Jack Evatt would be
meeting with the three boards on an ongoing basis. Tim noted he could always be reached anytime the Plan needs
him. Tim and Jack discussed the investment environment and Plan retums. For the quarter ending September 30,
2011, the total market value of the GE and Utility Authority Fund decreased from $7,615,483 to $6,715,483.
We strive to be in the top 40m percentile compared to other pension funds over the long term. Historically the total
fund has performed well, ranking in the top 34� percentile for fiscal 2010, top 55th percentile for fiscal 2009 and top
17� percentile for fiscal 2008. "The range of retums for public pension funds in the sample for fiscal 2011 was as
high as 4.00% and as low as (-3.85)%. The fixed income portfolio under-performed the benchmark for the quarter
largely due to the lack of Treasury Bond holdings.
