A significant portion of the investments maintained by the State Treasurer consists of repurchase agreements.
Collateral must be at least 102% of the book value of the repurchase agreements and must be delivered to the State
Treasurer's custodian for safekeeping. Investments maturing within 90 days of purchase are reported at amortized
cost in the financial statements as cash and cash equivalents.
Investments are classified as to credit risk by the three categories described below.
Category 1 Insured or registered, with securities held by the State or its agent in the State's name.
Category 2 Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's trust department or agent
in the State's name.
Category 3 Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty, or by its trust department
or agent, but not in the State's name.
All of the State's investments held at year-end are subject to classification of credit risk except for those
investments where the State owns units of a whole rather than specific securities, which by their nature are not
subject to risk categorization. The State's pooled investments that are not subject to risk categorization include the
Maryland Local Government Investment Pool, annuity and guaranteed investment contracts, mutual funds, real
estate, venture capital and investments held by borrowers under securities loans with cash collateral.
