Investment/Supplemental Regulation
Regulation Number 16.08: In accordance with PERAC Investment Guideline 99-2, the Everett Retirement Board is authorized to modify its equity management mandate with RhumbLine Advisers. In addition to existing index fund mandates for large cap and mid cap equities, RhumbLine will now manage a small cap index fund for the Board. Funds for this mandate will come from a recently terminated actively managed account run by SEB. The Board has been very satisfied with the performance and service offered by RhumbLine, it has surveyed the products of other small cap index providers, and it feels that it will have benefits of flexibility and efficiency by having all of its index management mandate with one provider.

Investment/Supplemental Regulation
Regulation Number 16.08: In accordance with Investment Guideline 99-2, the Everett Retirement Board is authorized to modify its international equity mandate with State Street Global Advisors. The Board will transfer assets from the existing investment in SSGA’s International Growth Opportunities Fund into a combination of the SSGA MSCI-EAFE Strategy Fund (an index fund) and the SSGA International Alpha Strategy Fund. By replacing a fund that is growth-orientated with two funds that offer a “core” approach, the Board hopes to achieve more consistent performance over time. The new funds invest in the same universe and have the same benchmark as the IGOF fund and they also have lower fees.
