Agenda Item No. City of Elgin g ILI oil }Ili K October 19, 2001 ' Aitr1 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FINANCIALLY STABLE CRY ppyERNMENT EFFICIENT SERVICES, FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager AND DUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE SUBJECT: Investment Management and Reporting Software PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider the purchase of an investment management and reporting software package from Sympro, Inc. , a sole source provider. BACKGROUND Over the past two years, members of the Fiscal Services staff have been investigating various investment management software packages . Currently, an in-house developed software program, nearly 30 years old, is being used. It has become, over time, a rather cumbersome system to use (i .e. : heavy data entry required, paper intensive, etc. ) and provides minimal reporting capabilities . In fact, current investment types, such as stripped U. S . Treasury note coupons, cannot be accommodated on this system. The general ledger software the City uses, HTE, does not offer a complete investment tracking and reporting software package. The majority of the investment packages on the market are not "stand alone" products, but rather, are sold as part of a general ledger package . Of the "stand alone" investment products reviewed (Tracs, Evare, etc . ) only one provider, Sympro, offered a unique package to the industry. Sympro offers a "stand alone" investment management and reporting package, and yet, has the required capability of interfacing with the HTE general ledger software. Sympro offers excellent reporting capabilities with both standard parameters and customized options available. For example : • Investment reporting can be done by individual fund, multiple funds, or all funds combined. • Individual reports can be assigned to a Report Set to efficiently process all reports with one request . Investment Management and Reporting Software October 19, 2001 Page 2 • Provides standard Government Accounting Standards Board compliance reports for risk classifications and reflecting the investment portfolio at current market value . • The system can track and report the history of rate and market price changes for an individual investment . A demo package was installed at the City and after using the program, it was determined that Sympro, Inc . , met the Fiscal Services Department' s requirements for investment management and reporting. A site visit by the Fiscal Services staff members was made to the City of Milwaukee' s Treasurer' s office for a hands-on demonstration by their investment officers . They have required very little maintenance or support for the two years they have been using the software and indicated they are completely satisfied with Sympro. Attached is a list of government sector users of the Sympro, Inc. , software. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None . FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of this investment software package is $35, 000 . This includes the extended investment-fixed income module, the general ledger interface, market pricing module, and four days of staff training. The first year of maintenance is free . Beginning in 2003 , the annual maintenance fee will be approximately $4 , 800 . This purchase can be charged to the Fiscal Services Accounting Division computer software account number 010-2003-718 . 15-07, where sufficient funds are available. EGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES Stay with the current investment management and reporting system. Investment Management and Reporting Software October 19, 2001 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of the investment management and reporting software package from Sympro, Inc . , a sole source provider, for a total of $35, 000 . Re. ectfully submitted, J cerker City Manager JN/ai 2200 Powell Street,Suite 1170 Emeryville,California 94608 _' z SymPro TEL(510)655-0900 FAX(510)655-4064 Sole Source www.sympro.com SymPro Software The following combinations of features and capabilities have been found to be unique to SymPro's Portfolio Management Software. The system can interface directly with HTE's General Ledger Package. Posting can be done by Investment Number, Fund/Manager, Transaction Date or Transaction Type. (Purchase, Maturity/Sale or Interest.)Posting is available at either a detail or a summary level. A true GASB 31 compliance report is a standard reporting choice. Encompassed in this report, for a user specified date range,are the change in market value, interest earned, reported value on a time weighted basis and total return.Each investment can be classified as either amortized cost or fair value based on its original term to maturity. Investment reporting can be done by individual fund, multiple funds or all funds combined. Individual reports can be assigned to a Report Set to efficiently process all reports with one request. The system can track and report the history of rate and market price changes for an individual investment. Duration analysis can be performed on either a modified or effective basis. A duration report is one of the standard choices. The system provides a report writer for ad-hoc reporting capabilities. It includes data dictionaries,which allow for the calculated fields from the standard reports to be captured for custom reporting purposes. Output of information can be in HTML, Label,Excel,ASCII,Lotus, Word or Word perfect formats. There is a direct interface to Excel which will automatically graph investment information. The system can perform true partial sales analysis capturing the accrued interest, beginning and ending par and book value, and gain or loss on an investment. Data labels in the investment screens can be customized to meet the users needs. There is a module available to provide for the allocation of income from a "pooled."portfolio to the various participating sub-funds. This option provides for a wide range of portfolio management configurations. This document reflects the known items that are specific to SymPro's treasury Management Software.
