"It is my honor to serve as Chair of the Florida Trust – the longest running, member-owned and member-governed local government pool in the state. The Trust has met the investment and diversification needs of local governments all over Florida since its 1991 inception. Nearing its third decade, it continues to provide a great combination of safety, liquidity and yield, in that order."

“The Florida Trust provides local governments with two excellent investment options to manage public dollars safely and effectively. Polk County uses the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund to meet some of our short term investment needs and the Florida Trust Short Term Bond Fund to invest a portion of our core assets. We are pleased with the structure of the funds, the investment strategies used, the high quality of the securities purchased, and the overall level of service provided by Florida Trust staff and Payden & Rygel.”
