TexasTERM was created in 2000 to allow Texas local governments and school districts to pool their funds for investment. By pooling the funds of many government entities, the Pool can help investors achieve the following investment objectives:
Safety TexasTERM invests only in those securities authorized by the statutes governing investment of funds by local governments in the state.
-
Higher potential yield By pooling the funds of investors, TexasTERM can invest in money-market instruments of larger denominations than possible for a single local government entity, which may result in higher yields.
Accounting and safekeeping TexasTERM provides a system which accounts for each investor’s investments in a manner compatible with municipal accounting and auditing requirements.
Convenience TexasTERM offers the advantages of investment by same-day wire or next-day transfer through automated clearing house (“ACH”) funds.
TexasTERM is directed by an Advisory Board of experienced local government officials, finance directors and treasurers and is managed by a team of industry leaders that are focused on providing professional investment services to investors.
TexasTERM has been organized in conformity with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code (the “PFIA”).
