Program Overview 

California Asset Management Program (CAMP or the Program) is a California Joint Powers Authority (JPA) established in 1989 to provide California public agencies with professional investment services. Investments offered through the Cash Reserve Portfolio (the Pool or the CAMP Pool) and CAMP Term are permitted for all local agencies under California Government Code Section 53601(p). The Program also offers educational resources, market updates and arbitrage rebate compliance services.

CAMP is directed by a Board of Trustees, which is made up of experienced local government finance directors and treasurers.

CAMP offers a range of services to assist public agencies with investing their operating funds, bond proceeds, debt service funds, and reserve funds. Whether your agency is looking for daily liquidity or cost-effective access to high-quality fixed income markets, CAMP can help with the following options:

CAMP Pool: This fully liquid, stable net asset value (NAV) investment option stresses daily liquidity and safety of principal as two of its objectives, as underscored by its AAAm1 rating from S&P Global. Earning a competitive yield is a third goal after safety and liquidity.

CAMP Term (Term): This investment option is for agencies with known cash flows to have an opportunity to optimize interest earnings. This fixed-rate, fixed-term investment option, rated AAAf2 by Fitch Ratings, offers securities with maturities ranging from 60 days to one year. Term investments are designed to match a Shareholder’s specific cash flow requirements. Investment principal and interest are paid at maturity, with an automatic sweep into the CAMP Pool.

Specialized service options: CAMP also offers individually managed portfolios with investment and safekeeping services at a reasonable cost and arbitrage rebate analysis and calculation for bond proceeds invested with CAMP. These services are authorized by the Board of Trustees and administered by PFM Asset Management3 (PFMAM) and are available under a separate agreement with the investment adviser.
