[Please vote] Treasury management

[Ryan Trinkle]

Dear fellow board members,

I asked Shmueli to confirm my position on the legality and
tax-exemptness of our investments, as requested during today's call.  My
question was "Can you confirm that it's alright for Haskell Foundation
to invest excess cash in SGOV, and that you think the yield on that
would be non-taxable?" and his answer was "Yes".  This was over chat, so
I can't forward it here.

Therefore, I'd like to formally propose the following:

1) That we open an account in the name of Haskell Foundation with
Interactive Brokers with Treasurer and Vice Treasurer being signers.
2) That the Treasurer and Vice Treasurer, in consultation with the ED,
establish and share with the board a treasury management policy, the top
priority of which shall be ensuring adequate liquidity and the second
priority of which shall be preserving the real (i.e. inflation-adjusted)
value of the Foundation's assets.
3) The board explicitly permits investments in USD cash, short-dated (<1
year) U.S. Treasuries, and funds whose investments are approximately
100% in those assets.  SGOV is and instance of this, and is specifically
permitted.  Cash in the brokerage sweep account is also specifically
permitted, although it is understood that this is not intended to be the
main way of holding funds.

Please vote on this proposal when you have a chance.


Best,

Ryan

[Ryan Trinkle]

I should add: the prospectus for SGOV is here:
https://www.ishares.com/us/products/314116/ishares-0-3-month-treasury-bond-etf
. It is managed by BlackRock, one of the largest ETF issuers in the U.S.

Sounds good, I vote yes

Hi! Ryan

Wearing my 'due process' hat, a vote has to have certain "attributes" - see: https://gitlab.haskell.org/hf/meta/-/blob/main/board.md?ref_type=heads#923-vote-attributes Please can you specify them for your vote. I am happy to act as Tabulator.

Kind regards

Mike

Dear All

 

The vote below is over.

 

The vote was quorate (a simple majority of the board voted).

 

The vote was passed (unanimously, by people who voted).

 

I assume the Treasurer and Vice-Treasurer will take the next steps, in accordance with the outcome.

 

Kind regards

 

Mike
