The change expands access for state\/local and tribal governments to commercial paper, negotiable bank deposits and corporate bonds. Amendments to the rules defining an \u201caccredited investor\u201d and a \u201cqualified institutional buyer\u201d (QIB) put governments and tribes on the same plane as corporations and not-for-profits. PFM Asset Management LLC was active in promoting this change, and we believe comments\/recommendations we submitted to the Commission were recognized in the new rule.To learn more about the changes we conducted the following Q&#038;A session with Marty Margolis. Marty founded the investment management business at PFM and serves as its chief investment officer.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nRead more in the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/0nylm4epmmik0xiiambkj5ucqu4hok29\">Spring 2021 NAFOA Navigator<\/a> (page 114-115).\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/24\/nafoa.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"invisible\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Community matters a lot to NAFOA.
