ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Since 1989, the Virginia Treasury Board has sponsored the Virginia State Non-Arbitrage Program® ("SNAP" or "the Program") to provide comprehensive investment management, accounting and arbitrage rebate calculation services for proceeds of tax-exempt financings of Virginia issuers.
The investment options currently provided to Participants through the SNAP Program are a money market mutual fund ("SNAP Fund" or "the Fund") registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and individual portfolios managed by the Program's Investment Manager. Arbitrage rebate compliance services are provided for all investments managed through the Program.
SNAP® Fund
The SNAP Fund is a class of the Prime Series
of the PFM Funds. The Prime Series is a money market mutual fund designed for the investment of proceeds from tax-exempt bonds issued by Virginia entities. The Fund provides:
- Daily liquidity
- Competitive money market returns
- Unlimited number of deposits and withdrawals
- Transactions by wire, ACH and check
- Sub-accounting to track multiple funds/accounts
The Prime Series is managed to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) per share of $1.00.
The Prime Series invests in obligations of the United States Government and its agencies, high quality debt obligations of U.S. companies and obligations of financial institutions and is rated “AAAm”
by Standard & Poor’s.
Individually Managed Portfolios
In addition to the Fund, the SNAP Program offers customized investment solutions using individual portfolios.
At the request of a SNAP participant, the Program's Investment Manager will purchase and manage a portfolio of securities consisting of U.S. Treasury, Federal agency securities, and/or high quality debt obligations of U.S. companies. Individual portfolios can also hold flexible repurchase agreements, forward delivery agreements, or guaranteed investment contracts, if appropriate, for the investor.
Individual investment portfolios are automatically linked to a SNAP Fund account to provide that maturities and coupon payments are invested at all times.
