present were Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gedney, Mrs. Mullaney, Mr. Gray, Mrs. Mitchell, and
Mrs. Hawkins. Mr. Cole, Mr. Hosfelt, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Mullaney, Deputy Police Chief Mailey,
Mr. Sigler, and Mrs. Tieman were absent.
AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS
Mrs. Mitchell advised that item #3, Update - Wells Fargo Business Relationship would be deferred,

carried.
ADOPTION OF MINUTES - JOINT GENERAL EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN BOARD OF
TRUSTEES, POLICE PENSION PLAN RETIREMENT COMMITTEE, AND OPEB BOARD
MEETING - NOVEMBER 10, 2016
Mrs. Mitchell moved for adoption of the minutes of the Joint General Employee Pension Plan
Board of Trustees, Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and OPEB Board Meeting of
November 10, 2016 by the General Employee Pension Plan Board of Trustees. The motion was
seconded by Mrs. Mullaney and unanimously carried.
Mrs. Hawkins moved for adoption of the minutes of the Joint General Employee Pension Plan
Board of Trustees, Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and OPEB Board Meeting of
November 10, 2016 by the OPEB Board. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Mitchell and
unanimously carried.
Due to the lack of a quorum of members of the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, adoption
of the minutes of the November 10, 2016 meeting will be considered during the Joint General
Employee Pension Plan Board of Trustees, Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and Other
Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Board Meeting of April 27, 2017.
Quarterly Performance Reviews (Quarter Ending December 31, 2016) (Milliman, Inc.)
Mr. Jeff Marzinsky, Principal and Employee Benefits Consultant, Milliman, Inc., reviewed the
market conditions related to the investments held in the General Employee Pension Plan, Police
Pension Plan, and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan.
Mr. Anderson noted that it was likely that the Federal Reserve would probably increase interest rates
by1% or 100 basis points over the next year-and-a-half and asked if this would affect how heavily
the City is invested in bonds. Responding, Mr. Marzinsky reminded members that a special
situations bond fund had been added to the portfolios, noting that this fund tries to look for areas that
will not be impacted by such increases and also tries to maintain a low level of duration. He advised
members that government long bond funds have a duration of 10 to 13 years and decline steeply in
Page 3
JOINT GENERAL EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
POLICE PENSION PLAN RETIREMENT COMMITTEE, AND
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) BOARD
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PAGE 2
value with a small increase in interest rates. Mr. Marzinsky stated that the longer the duration, the
more effect there would be. He indicated that previously each of the portfolios had a long bond
allocation of 8% to 10%, and this was cut in half approximately a year or year-and-a-half ago in
anticipation of the Federal Reserve adjusting interest rates. Mr. Marzinsky stated that this was very
important in the value of the portfolios, and Milliman would continue to watch this.
Mr. Koenig questioned where the funds were moved to when the long bond allocation was cut in
half. Responding, Mr. Marzinsky explained that these funds were allocated to the special situations
bond fund. Referring to the Board Meeting notes for the General Employee Pension Plan, Police
Pension Plan, and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan, Mr. Marzinsky advised members
that the Columbia Strategic Income Fund was added to the portfolios with a 5% target.
Mr. Koenig asked if there are mandated terms on bonds or if any term can be selected for a bond.
In response, Mr. Marzinsky explained that the policies for each of the funds have investment targets;
however, the Columbia Strategic Income Fund has a fair amount of leeway and can go into a number
of different areas. He indicated that there are specific guidelines that are followed, noting that the
money market category has funds in cash; the short-term bond category includes investments in only
in shorter-term bonds, whether government or corporate; and long-term bonds are invested only in
longer duration bonds.
Mr. Koenig questioned if there is a government definition for short-term bonds. Responding,
Mr. Marzinsky advised that generally short-term bonds are from two (2) to three (3) years or shorter.
He noted that ultra short bonds are approximately 90 days to six (6) months. Mr. Koenig asked if
investments of 90 days to six (6) months would actually be bonds, and Mr. Marzinsky stated that
investments that are this short would probably be more of a note, rather than a specific bond.
Mr. Koenig asked if the word “bond” as a standard term usually means a year or longer, and
Mr. Marzinsky stated yes.
General Employee Pension Plan
Mr. Marzinsky reviewed the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the Quarter Ending
December 31, 2016. Referring to Page 11 - Investment Policy Review - Passive Management,
Mr. Anderson asked what the Tracking Error is. Responding, Mr. Marzinsky explained that this
statistic reflects differences from what the index is doing. He stated, for example, that if the index
is going up and the tracking error is very low, this means there is no diversion in the returns;
however, if the tracking error is a little high, this reflects a little difference in what the market or
index is doing. Mr. Marzinsky noted that a beta of 1.0 and a low tracking error is desired, but
occasionally some differences are seen. He pointed out some differences with the Vanguard Fund
caused by a change in Vanguard’s underlying benchmark for the fund. Mr. Marzinsky advised that
a couple years ago Vanguard changed their index for emerging market stock from the Morgan
Stanley Capital International (MSCI) index to the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) index.
He stated that there would be tracking error when the fund is compared only to the new index;
however, he assured members that this would go away over time.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PAGE 3
Mr. Marzinsky reviewed the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the Quarter Ending
December 31, 2016. Referring to Page 12 - Investment Option Return Summary for the General
Employee Pension Plan;, Mr. Marzinsky stated that the five-year return was almost 7.25%, which
was a pretty good return.
Mr. Anderson moved to accept the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the
General Employee Pension Plan, seconded by Mrs. Mitchell and unanimously carried.
Police Pension Plan
Mr. Marzinsky reviewed the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the Quarter Ending
December 31, 2016. Referring to Page 12 - Investment Option Return Summary for the Police
Pension Plan; Mr. Marzinsky explained that the Police Pension Plan has the same investments as
the General Employee Pension Plan, but because the plans have two (2) different demographic bases
or groups of employees, they are viewed a little differently. He advised that they two (2) plans have
slightly different asset allocations based on the allocation of retirees, and the projected benefit
payments from the actuarial evaluations drive the asset allocations. Mr. Marzinsky noted that the
return for the quarter was almost 0.06%, for the year approximately 10%, over a three-year time
period approximately 5.7%, and over five (5) years more than 7%, which were pretty good returns.
Mr. Koenig asked if there were any active employees in the Police Pension Plan, and Mrs. Mitchell
responded that all members of that plan had retired. Mr. Koenig stated his understanding that the
General Employee Pension Plan was closed but there were active employees still participating.
Due to the lack of a quorum of members of the Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee,
acceptance of the Quarterly Performance Review (Quarter Ending December 31, 2016) - Police
Pension Plan will be considered during the Joint General Employee Pension Plan Board of Trustees,
Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Board
Meeting of April 27, 2017.
OPEB Plan
Mr. Marzinsky reviewed the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the Quarter Ending
December 31, 2016. Mr. Marzinsky stated that the OPEB plan was slightly different from the
two (2) pension plans and was not paying out benefits at this point in time, noting that this plan was
in the accumulation phase. Mrs. Mitchell clarified that the OPEB plan was paying benefits;
however, they were coming out of the cash account rather than the investment account. Referring
to the Board Meeting Notes for the City of Dover OPEB Plan, Mr. Marzinsky stated that there were
a few different underlying investments in the OPEB plan, such as the Dodge & Cox Income Fund,
because the prior investment advisor had developed a slightly different portfolio for this plan. Since
Milliman liked these investments, they did not make any changes to them.
Referring to Page 12 - Investment Option Return Summary of the Quarterly Investment Monitor
Summary Report for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2016 for the OPEB Plan, Mr. Marzinsky
stated that the return was slightly over 1% for the quarter, almost 11% for the year, almost 6% for
the three-year period, and approximately 8% over the five-year period. He indicated that this was
Page 5
JOINT GENERAL EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
POLICE PENSION PLAN RETIREMENT COMMITTEE, AND
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) BOARD
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PAGE 4
a little more aggressive than the pension plans because there were no regular cash flows coming out
of this investment account. Mr. Marzinsky stated that having positive years in the market would
help to improve the funding status of the plan.
Referring to the Board Meeting Notes, Mrs. Hawkins observed that contributions were made in July,
September, and November, which appeared to be every other month, and asked if this was the
normal routine. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that staff has a schedule and tries to make
contributions quarterly; however, this depends on the cash flow in the funds and whether there are
funds available to transfer. She noted that there may also be a difference in timing if there is a lump
sum coming out of the budget.
Mrs. Hawkins asked if the funds going into OPEB are being charged against payroll. Responding,
Mrs. Mitchell explained that the transfers going into OPEB are being charged against each of the
City’s funds.
Mrs. Hawkins stated her understanding that when all employees are paid, there is a expense, which
is the City’s contribution from its payroll. Mrs. Mitchell explained that the contribution from
payroll goes to the cash account at the bank that is paying the premium.
Mrs. Hawkins stated her understanding that she, as an individual, pays a certain amount of money
from her paycheck for health insurance, the City pays the additional premium for health insurance,
and these funds are used to pay the current expense of her health care. She noted that there is also
an expense on her check stub that reflects that the City is contributing a certain percentage to the
OPEB fund expense and asked what happens to these funds. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell explained
that the amount of the OPEB expense listed on the employee’s pay stub goes into the OPEB fund
and is used to pay the premiums. She stated that these contributions, plus any lump sum funds, go
into the OPEB fund cash account. Mrs. Mitchell advised that premiums are taken out of the cash
account to pay the bills, the leftover amount accumulates, and that is what is transferred to the fund’s
investment account.
Mr. Koenig stated his understanding that there is no premium for active employees. Mrs. Mitchell
stated that there is a contribution that is a percentage of payroll. Mrs. Hawkins questioned if the
percentage depended on the fund, and Mrs. Mitchell stated that it did.
Mrs. Hawkins expressed her understanding that the July, September, and November contributions
were the accumulation of all active employee contributions. Mr. Koenig advised that these
contributions were the accumulation of additional cash that can be invested.
Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the cash balance plus the investment balance is reflected in the City of
Dover Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), and all of the premiums paid out of that
account are reflected as an expense.

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PAGE 5
Mr. Koenig stated his understanding that employees hired since 2009 were not adding to the OPEB
liability because the City is on a “pay as you go” basis. Mrs. Mitchell stated that this was not correct
because the liability is amortized over the whole group and results in a net liability.
Mrs. Hawkins questioned why Mr. Koenig had referenced the year 2009. Responding, Mr. Koenig
advised that the OPEB fund was created in 2009.
Mr. Koenig expressed his understanding that the City adjusts the calculation annually to make sure
that the liability for the employees hired since 2009 is not increasing. Mrs. Mitchell confirmed this
and stated that there are net gains and losses over the actuary assumption that are not all recognized
within one (1) year but amortized over a five-year period. She stated that some of the gains being
seen now will be grouped in with prior losses and amortized over five (5) years. Mrs. Mitchell
advised that a couple of years ago there was close to a 17% increase from the State in premiums, and
the next year there was a 6% increase. She noted that this was not included in the last actuarial
valuation and would be included in the current valuation.
Mrs. Mitchell explained that there had been some changes in Government Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) standards that must be incorporated, noting that the mortality table had changed
under actuary standards. In addition, she noted that the higher cost for retirees had formerly been
socialized in the whole group; however, this implicit subsidy would now go away, and these changes
would drive up the liability.
Mrs. Hawkins questioned if it was the older retirees or the pre-65 retirees that were driving up the
costs. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated her belief that it was the post-65 retirees. Mrs. Hawkins
noted that Medicare is the primary provider for post-65 retirees, and Mrs. Mitchell explained that
the medical experience is higher for these individuals. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the pre-65
retirees are also part of what is driving up the costs, and police officers have the biggest impact
because they can retire at age 55 or younger and may have a family premium.
Mrs. Hawkins asked how it was known that the claims for 65 group are the highest and if this was
based upon published statistical information, noting that the City’s own claims were not being
collected. Mrs. Lori Peddicord, Assistant Controller/Treasurer, stated that the rates are received
from the actuary from the State. Mrs. Hawkins stated that, during the last State Employees Benefit
Committee meeting that she attended, it was stated that pre-65 retirees were the most expensive
group, and retirees aged 65 and were less expensive because Medicare was picking up so much of
their claims. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell stated that the premiums for post-65 retirees are less, but
their claims are usually higher since they need more care than younger retirees. She reiterated that
pre-65 retirees are also part of the problem of cost.
Mr. Koenig questioned if there is a requirement that the funding plan be adjusted when there is a
change in some of the assumptions, or if the figure for the liability just becomes more accurate. For
example, he asked if the funding plan would have to be redone to match the higher liability if new
standards were used that increased the City’s liability from$30M liability to $40M. Responding,
Page 7

POLICE PENSION PLAN RETIREMENT COMMITTEE, AND
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) BOARD
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PAGE 6
Mrs. Mitchell advised that the City’s contribution would increase if this occurred. She noted that
she would be talking with the auditor and actuary to see about mitigating some of this increase.
Mrs. Hawkins stated that the change had been captured in the Retiree Eligibility for Healthcare
meeting. She noted that, due to contract negotiations with the Dover Organization of Employees
(DOE), new hires receive this benefit only for themselves. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the contractual
increases that were in effect at the time the actuary did the study were included in the new analysis.
She indicated that DOE contract was finalized on July 1, 2016. Mr. Koenig stated his understanding
that DOE and FOP were also part of this, and Mrs. Mitchell confirmed this. Mr. Koenig asked if
this would be footnoted somewhere, and Mrs. Mitchell stated that it would.
Mrs. Hawkins expressed her hope that some of the contract negotiations would offset the new GASB
rules. Mrs. Mitchell indicated that the implicit subsidy, mortality table, and rate increases had
substantially increased the liability.
Mrs. Hawkins stated that there should be a savings seen somewhere from having no contributions
from the City for retiree dependents. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that this had been
included; however, the cost still went up considerably.
Mr. Anderson asked if any changes in investments were recommended. Responding, Mr. Marzinsky
stated that no changes were recommended at this time. He reiterated that continued improvement
and positive returns were being seen in equity markets. Mr. Marzinsky advised that interest rates
had come down, so there were positive returns in bond investments.
Mr. Anderson stated that the Dow and NASDAQ had set records. Mr. Marzinsky advised that the
Dow reached 20,000, which was an informal milestone and a good thing. He also noted that the
S & P was currently at 2,299; was inching close to 3,000; and may reach that number later in the
day. [City Clerk’s Office Note: Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Marzinsky clarified with the Clerk’s
Office that his intent was to state that the S & P was inching close to 2,300.]
By unanimous consent, the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report for the OPEB
Plan was accepted as presented.
Mrs. Mullaney moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. Hawkins and unanimously carried.

Mr. Jeff Marzinsky, Principal and Employee Benefits Consultant, Milliman, Inc., reviewed the
Market Commentary related to the investments held in the General Employee Pension Plan, Police
Pension Plan, and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan.
General Employee Pension Plan
Mr. Marzinsky advised that the returns for the General Employee Pension Plan were approximately
4.6 % net and 4.7% gross for the quarter, exceeding the benchmark by approximately 0.5%, and the
return over the last year was almost 12.5%. He stated that no changes in the plan were recommended
at this time.
Due to the lack of a quorum of members of the General Employee Plan Board of Trustees,
acceptance of the Quarterly Performance Review (Quarter Ending March 31, 2017) - General
Employee Pension Plan will be considered during the Joint General Employee Pension Plan Board,
Police Pension Plan Retirement Committee, and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Board
Meeting of August 10, 2017.
Police Pension Plan
Mr. Marzinsky advised that the return for the Police Pension Plan for the quarter was approximately
4.7%, which exceeded the benchmark of approximately 4.25%. He stated that the one-year return
was 12.3%, exceeding the benchmark of 11.77%, and over a three-year period the return was almost
6.5%, exceeding the benchmark of 5.96%. Mr. Marzinsky indicated that no changes were
recommended to the portfolio or any of the managers at this time.

OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) BOARD
MEETING OF APRIL 27, 2017 PAGE 3
Mr. Anderson moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report
for the Police Pension Plan, seconded by Mr. Gray and unanimously carried.
OPEB Plan
Mr. Marzinsky explained that the return for the OPEB plan for the quarter was approximately 4.5%,
exceeding its benchmark of 4.1%. He stated that the return over the last year was almost 13%,
exceeding the benchmark of 12.2%, and the return over the last three-year period was approximately
6.6%, compared to the benchmark of 6.3%. Mr. Marzinsky advised that no changes to the allocation
or the managers were recommended at this time.
Mr. Anderson stated that he was fascinated that both fixed income investments and equities were
moving up simultaneously and asked if Mr. Marzinsky had any insight in this regard. Responding,
Mr. Marzinsky noted that the Federal Reserve had raised interest rates, which caused an uptick in
interest rates for shorter-term investments. He stated, however, that, collectively over the last couple
of months, rates actually decreased slightly on intermediate and long-term bonds. Mr. Marzinsky
advised that people were trying to generate yield returns on portfolios and were looking at some of
the lower-rated funds, and he reminded members that the City’s portfolios include a high-yield fund.
He noted that people were still actively investing in fixed income investments. Mr. Marzinsky
indicated that there was a perception that at some point interest rates will start to pick up; however,
this had not been seen across the board at this point.
Mr. Marzinsky explained that the positive economic factors that he had mentioned earlier during his
review of the Market Commentary, such as low unemployment, a good Consumer Price Index (CPI),
and a good Gross Domestic Product (GDP), were driving the US markets. He noted that there had
been a significant spike the day after the Presidential election. Mr. Marzinsky informed members
that, since the election, there had been a perception in the markets that an adjustment in tax rates
would help from a business perspective. He noted that a tax plan had come out on April 26, 2017;
however, it was a one-page plan, and the markets, which had been up about four (4) or five (5) points
on the S & P 500, dropped by the end of the day.
Mr. Marzinsky advised that uncertainty, such as the recent launch of a test missile by Korea and the
Brexit announcement last June, causes volatility and potential negative returns, noting that markets
declined 400 to 500 points when Brexit was announced. Mr. Marzinsky indicated that a lot of good
news was currently driving the markets.
Mrs. Mitchell moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Investment Monitor Summary Report
for the OPEB Plan, seconded by Mr. Cole and unanimously carried.
Update - Wells Fargo Business Relationship
Ms. Lauryn Hays, Regional Director, Philadelphia area, Wells Fargo, advised members that
approximately seven (7) months ago there was a settlement announcement regarding Wells Fargo
community retail banks, which are their banks with large red and yellow Wells Fargo labels. She
explained that Wells Fargo’s compensation structure had enhanced compensation for their
Page 11
JOINT GENERAL EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
POLICE PENSION PLAN RETIREMENT COMMITTEE, AND
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) BOARD
MEETING OF APRIL 27, 2017 PAGE 4
employees who did cross-selling. Ms. Hays stated that if a branch customer signed up for a checking
account but did not want a debit card, a Wells Fargo employee may have opened a debit card for the
customer without their consent and closed it out the next day in order to receive credit and
compensation for selling a debit card. Ms. Hays advised that this had been going on for a few years,
and Wells Fargo launched an internal investigation to get to the root cause.
Ms. Hays informed members that there had been significant changes at Wells Fargo since that time,
noting that Mr. John Stumpf, their former CEO, had retired early, and the head of community
banking also left the organization. She stated that much of Wells Fargo’s stock had been clawed
back in order to re-compensate shareholders and customers. Ms. Hays indicated that their focus had
been on making whole those customers who were impacted, and Wells Fargo paid a settlement of
approximately $2.6M in September affecting more than 1,300 customers.
Ms. Hays noted that the organization’s structure had been changed, so that the CEO and Chairman
of the Board are now two (2) separate individuals. She noted that previously each business area was
treated as a separate entity, and there was no reporting structure that went to the top. Ms. Hays noted
that there was now oversight, and the risk of a recurrence at Wells Fargo had been minimized. She
indicated that, from an employee standpoint, they had introduced an easier way to report issues and
ensure that they are attended to. Ms. Hays advised that the area of the organization that was involved
is separate from the business areas.
Ms. Hays apologized for Wells Fargo finding itself in its position, noting that they had lost the trust
of their customers. She indicated that some team members were working hard to try to restore trust
by changing things fundamentally and being more transparent. Ms. Hays indicated that, since
February, an independent investigation report with details of the findings had been released and was
available on the Wells Fargo website. Ms. Hays explained that her verbal statement was a summary
of this report. She assured members that retirement assets were held separately from commercial
banking assets and bankers at no time had access to City employees’ information. Ms. Hays noted
that although this was a Wells Fargo issue, it was concentrated in commercial banking.
Update - Investment Advisory Services
Mrs. Donna Mitchell, Acting City Manager, explained that the City’s agreement with Milliman, Inc.
for investment advisory services would expire in August 2017, noting that there had been two (2)
one-year extensions of the agreement. She stated that she wanted members to be aware that staff
would be reviewing proposals and would make a recommendation during the next meeting.
Mrs. Mitchell asked members to contact staff if they would like to review the proposals or provide
input in the next couple of weeks. She indicated that proposals for banking services would be
reviewed simultaneously, noting that the August meeting is typically members’ longest meeting.
Mr. Mullaney asked if staff would let members know their recommendation beforehand, noting that
this may make the August meeting go more smoothly. Responding, Mrs. Mitchell indicated that
staff usually does an analysis and this could be sent out to members beforehand.

Average Effective Duration Price/Book Ratio TTM
A measure of a fund's interest-rate sensitivity--the longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive the fund is to shifts in interest rates. The weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in a fund’s portfolio. The P/B ratio of a company is calculated by dividing the

shorter counterparts. R-Squared
Beta Reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 indicates
that all movements of a fund can be explained by movements in the index. Thus, index funds that invest only in S&P 500 stocks will have an

excess return during up markets and 15% better during down markets. Sharpe Ratio
The Morningstar Rating The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by using standard deviation and
excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio’s historical risk-adjusted performance.
Commonly called the Star Rating, is a measure of a fund's risk-adjusted return, relative to funds in its category. Funds are rated from It can be used to compare two portfolios directly on how much excess return each portfolio achieved for a certain level of risk.
one to five stars, with the best performers receiving five stars and the worst performers receiving a single star.
Standard Deviation
Risk-adjusted return is calculated by subtracting a risk penalty from each fund total return, after accounting for all loads, sales charges,
and redemption fees. The risk penalty is determined by the amount of variation in the fund's monthly return, with emphasis on downward Standard deviation is the statistical measurement of dispersion about an average, which depicts how widely a stock or portfolio’s returns

implying greater volatility.
Audited Expense Ratio

Morningstar defines the overall "size" of a stock fund's portfolio as the geometric mean of the market capitalization for all of the stocks it Total Return

resulting numbers are multiplied together to produce the geometric mean of the market caps of the stocks in the portfolio, which is Expressed in percentage terms, Morningstar’s calculation of total return is determined each month by taking the change in monthly net asset

better identifies the portfolio's "center of gravity." That is, it provides more accurate insight into how market trends (as defined by
capitalization) might affect the portfolio. Turnover Ratio
Net Assets This is a measure of the fund’s trading activity which is computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales (excluding all securities with
maturities of less than one year) and dividing by average monthly net assets. A turnover ratio of 100% or more does not necessarily suggest

if its asset base reaches an ungainly size.
12-Month Yield
Also known as a distribution yield, Morningstar computes this figure by summing the trailing 12-month’s income distributions and dividing the
sum by the last month’s ending NAV, plus any capital gains distributed over the same period. Income refers only to interest payments from
fixed-income securities and dividend payoffs from common stocks.

Average Effective Duration Price/Book Ratio TTM
A measure of a fund's interest-rate sensitivity--the longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive the fund is to shifts in interest rates. The weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in a fund’s portfolio. The P/B ratio of a company is calculated by dividing the

Beta Reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 indicates

excess return during up markets and 15% better during down markets. Sharpe Ratio
The Morningstar Rating The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by using standard deviation and
excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio’s historical risk-adjusted performance.
Commonly called the Star Rating, is a measure of a fund's risk-adjusted return, relative to funds in its category. Funds are rated from It can be used to compare two portfolios directly on how much excess return each portfolio achieved for a certain level of risk.
one to five stars, with the best performers receiving five stars and the worst performers receiving a single star.
Standard Deviation
Risk-adjusted return is calculated by subtracting a risk penalty from each fund total return, after accounting for all loads, sales charges,
and redemption fees. The risk penalty is determined by the amount of variation in the fund's monthly return, with emphasis on Standard deviation is the statistical measurement of dispersion about an average, which depicts how widely a stock or portfolio’s returns
downward variation. The greater the variation, the larger the penalty. Funds are ranked within their categories and stars are assigned as varied over a certain period of time. Investors use the standard deviation of historical performance to try to predict the range of returns that is

implying greater volatility.

Also known as a distribution yield, Morningstar computes this figure by summing the trailing 12-month’s income distributions and dividing the

members of the Employees’ Pension Board of the City of Dover (“Board”) under Section 2‐202 of the City of
Dover Code of Ordinances, this Investment Policy Statement (“Statement”) presents investment objectives,
policies, guidelines, and monitoring and review procedures relating to financial assets (the “Fund”) of the
City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan (“Plan”).
The IPS will function to:
1. State in a written document the Board’s expectations, objectives, and guidelines for the investment of
Plan assets which the Board judges to be appropriate and prudent, in consideration of the needs of the
Plan.
2. Define and assign the responsibilities for the oversight of the Plan’s assets.
3. Set forth an investment structure for managing Plan assets. This structure will help to define asset class,
Investment Manager styles, asset allocation and acceptable ranges that, combined, will help to generate
the risk/return profile needed to meet the objectives of this policy.
4. Encourage effective communication between the Board and the Investment Consultant, as well as any
other interested parties.
5. Establish formalized performance criteria that the Investment Managers selected are expected to meet
and against which they are to be measured on a regular basis.

Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
II. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The assets of the Plan are invested under the supervision of the Board.
After reviewing expected short‐term and long‐term cash flow requirements of the plan, as well as considering
the investment time horizon and risk tolerance level believed to be appropriate for the invested assets, the
following set of objectives has been established:
1. Preservation of capital.
2. Pay all benefit and expense obligations when due.
3. Achieve a funding cushion to reduce the impact of possible future downturns in the plan’s funded
status.
4. Achieve or exceed actuarial earnings assumptions.
5. If applicable, effectively manage the funded status volatility and mitigate undue risk exposure under
a Liability Driven Investment (LDI) strategy. The approach can assist in managing interest rate and
inflationary risks.
6. Control risk exposure through reasonable and rational diversification of the assets into various asset
classes.
7. Establish policies based on total return and expected projected payouts rather than current income.
8. Contain costs of administering and managing the portfolio.
9. Attain a funded status such that the employer has the option to discontinue contributions to the plan
if deemed appropriate and fully funded.

Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
IV. INVESTMENT AND ALLOCATION POLICY
Investment Horizon: The investment guidelines are based on the expectation that the investment horizon
will be several years in length. Short‐term variability in returns should be expected.
Because of this, the Plan’s strategic asset allocation is established with moderate to long‐term perspective in
mind. The Plan is required to pay retirement benefits to participants as they come due. Therefore, sufficient
liquid reserves must be available to satisfy this obligation.
1. The actuary will provide future benefit payment amounts, funding and contribution requirements.
2. The plan should hold a portion of assets in short‐term and cash holdings to provide for the schedule of
future benefit payments.
Risk Tolerances: It is understood by the Board that achieving the Plan’s investment objectives is not
guaranteed and there will be time periods for which these objectives will not be met. The Board also
recognizes that some risk must be assumed to achieve the Plan’s investment objectives and accepts the
inevitable fluctuations in returns that will occur. While it is understood that a certain level of risk is expected
in the Plan’s portfolio, the ability to withstand short and intermediate term variability was specifically
considered in the development of the IPS risk tolerances. Factors considered were:
1. It is the intention to fund at least the minimum required contribution (MRC) each year providing ample
liquidity.
2. Due to the amount of payouts to occur for many years into the future, the Plan’s liabilities exhibit a longer
duration (sensitivity to changes in interest rates). As a result, extending durations in the fixed income
portion of Plan assets should be considered.
3. The cash balance portion of the plan's liabilities grows at the rate of T‐bill + 1%. Future liability growth
will be factored into all investment decisions.
As a result of the above‐named considerations, the Board believes that the Plan can tolerate some interim
variability in market value and rates of return in order to achieve its long‐term objectives.
Allowable Investments: Cash and Equivalents, Mutual Funds, Separate Accounts, Options and Futures
Contracts, Stocks, Bonds, Commingled Funds, and Collective Trusts, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
Liquidity Policy: The trust will be required to provide periodic distributions in the form of retirement benefit
payments to participants. The actuary provides annual assessments of the funding requirements and
payments necessary to meet the plans benefit obligations.
Page 7 of 14
Page 129
Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
Overall Asset Allocation Policy
Based on the Plan’s time horizon, risk tolerances, liquidity needs, and asset class preferences and
constraints, an efficient or optimal portfolio was identified. This allocation shall be reviewed at least
annually and modified as necessary to meet the needs of the Board.
[See Appendix A for the Strategic Asset Allocation Policy of the Plan.]
The current allocation strategy is dynamic in nature under a Liability Drive Investment (LDI) approach. The
allocation shall be reviewed periodically, at least annually, and modified as necessary to de‐risk the plan,
based on the funded status. The overall performance of the portfolio relative to the liabilities will be
reviewed in addition to actual performance of the managers.
Rebalancing: Rebalancing is the periodic adjustment of the portfolio to restore a pre‐defined Target asset
allocation, and will be reviewed at least once per calendar quarter, or as such when the allocation of any
asset class exceeds the range around its respective target.
Change in Funding Target Level
Based on the asset allocation glidepath and funding target levels outlined in the Asset Allocation Policy, an
increase in the Plan funding ratio that elevates the plan to a new increment level will trigger a rebalancing of
Plan assets to the new targets. If the Plan funding ratio decreases and meets a lower target level, the plan
will not rebalance to the new target asset allocation.
Timing
Rebalancing reviews generally take place quarterly, or at a frequency determined by appropriate by the
Board. Generally, the rebalancing transactions will occur over a period of time to reduce undue market
timing risk.
The Plan will diversify its investment portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks. Investment maturities
should be scheduled to coincide with projected cash flow requirements. As funded status improves, the
asset allocation policy targets will reduce equity investments and increase fixed income investments and “de‐
risk” the plan portfolio.

of this nature.
Fixed Income Policy
Investment Objectives
These assets are to be invested in a mutual fund, commingled funds, separate accounts, or collective trusts
of high‐grade index or active fixed income portfolio subject to the limitations set forth below. The investment

Equity Policy
Investment Objectives

futures, stocks, bonds, commingled funds, and collective trusts, exchange traded funds (ETFs). Within this
framework, the investment objectives of the equity portion are:

Investment Guidelines
The Plan’s equity assets will be managed in accordance with the following:
1. All funds selected for the equity portion must have a readily ascertainable market value and must be
readily marketable.
2. Investment Managers selected will be diversified and generally conform to industry guidelines.

Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
VI. SELECTION OF INVESTMENT MANAGERS
The Board, with the assistance of the Investment Consultant, will select appropriate Investment Managers
to manage the Plan assets. Investment Managers must meet the following minimum criteria:
1. Is a bank, insurance company, investment management company, or investment advisor as defined by
the Registered Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
2. Provide at a minimum, historical quarterly performance numbers calculated on a time‐weighted basis,
based on a composite of all the fully discretionary accounts of similar investment style, and reported net
and gross of fees.
3. Provide performance evaluation reports prepared by an objective third party that illustrate the
risk/return profile of the Investment Manager relative to other managers of like investment style.
4. Provide detailed information on the history of the firm, key personnel, key clients, fee schedule, and
support personnel. This information can be supplied by a third party vendor comparable to Lipper or
Morningstar.
5. Clearly articulate the investment strategy that will be followed and document that the strategy has been
successfully adhered to over time.
6. Investment Managers will be ranked within the top 50 percent of their respective styles on the
Investment Consultant’s internal ranking program when available.
7. Some of the measures that may be included in the statistical analysis of a fund would be:
a. Alpha – a measure of fund performance compared to its expected return
b. Beta – the general level of influence a fund’s market has over its performance
c. Standard Deviation – a measure of a fund’s variation of returns over time
d. Sharpe Ratio – a measure of a fund’s risk‐adjusted return compared to its risk
e. Duration – a measure of sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations over time
8. The Board will consider replacing an actively managed fund if the rank versus its peer group remains in
the bottom 50 percent for four consecutive quarters versus its peer group and if statistical analysis
concludes that the fund’s level of return does not provide an acceptable ratio as compared to its general
level of risk.
9. The Board may consider a fund for replacement when the Investment Manager or policy of the fund is
changed. In addition, if there are any substantial transactions with regard to the fund management
company or holding, or other types of instabilities in the fund company, replacement will be considered.
10. The Board may also consider replacing a fund if its relative performance over a complete market cycle
trails its benchmark.

Page 133
Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
VII. INVESTMENT EVALUATION
Not more than 90 days after the end of each calendar quarter, the Investment Consultant shall report
investment positions and performance results to the Board, based on performance reported by each Fund
Manager, to monitor and evaluate progress toward the attainment of longer‐term targets.
The target rate of return for the Plan has been based on the assumption that future real returns will
approximate the long‐term rates of return experienced for each asset class in the IPS. The real rate of return
is the return in excess of the anticipated rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Total Plan Portfolio Performance: Over a complete business cycle, the Plan’s overall annualized total return
(net of expenses) should perform at or above the Plan Benchmark. The Plan Benchmark is a customized
index composed of the following benchmarks for each target asset class and based on the current and prior
target asset allocation policy for the Plan:
Asset Category Index*
Cash & Money Market BofA ML 3‐month T‐bill Total Return
Index
Short‐term Bond Barclays US Govt/Credit 1‐3 Yr TR USD
Inflation Protected Bond Barclays US Treasury US TIPS TR USD
Intermediate‐term Bond Barclays US Govt 5‐10 Yr TR USD
Long‐term Bond BC Long Government/Credit
High Yield Bond BC High Yield Corporate Bond
Large Cap Value S&P 500 Value
Large Cap Blend S&P 500 Index
Large Cap Growth S&P 500 Growth
Mid Cap Value S&P 400 Value
Mid Cap Blend S&P 400 Index
Mid Cap Growth S&P 400 Growth
Small Cap Value S&P 600 Value
Small Cap Blend S&P 600 Index
Small Cap Growth S&P 600 Growth
World Stock MSCI AC World Index ND USD
Diversified Emerging Markets FTSE Emerging NR USD
REIT/Real Estate MSCI US REIT NR USD
*Or other index as designated by the fund and/or fund manager as an appropriate target benchmark for the
investment portfolio or fund.
Page 12 of 14
Page 134
Investment Policy Statement City of Dover Employees’ Pension Plan
Individual Investment Managers: During its periodic meetings but not less than annually, the Board will
review the following specifics with regard to each Investment Manager:
1. The manager’s adherence to their prospectus.
2. Material changes in the manager’s organization, investment philosophy, and/or personnel.
3. Performance compared against an appropriate peer group and benchmark, as listed in the Executive
Summary of this IPS, over various time periods.
The Board expects the following criteria to be met by each Investment Manager. If a manager fails to meet
these, a further review of the manager will be warranted. The Board reserves the right to replace an
Investment Manager at their discretion at any time.
1. The Investment Manager’s rank (3‐year and 5‐year return) versus its peer group is over 50 (where a
percentile ranking of 1 would be the highest a fund could achieve and 100 would be the lowest). If a fund
or Investment Manager’s rank (3‐year and 5‐year return) versus its peer group is over 50, the fund will
warrant a closer analytic review. The Board’s review will be comprised of a further analysis of the fund’s
statistical performance and risk measures.
2. The Investment Manager’s risk over 3 to 5 years, as measured by standard deviation, should be equal to
or lower than the comparative index. If the standard deviation is higher than the index, an increase in
performance is expected.
3. The Investment Manager’s Sharpe ratio should be positive over 3 to 5 years and ranked above the peer
group median.
4. The Investment Manager’s Alpha should be positive over a 3 to 5 year period and ranked above the peer
group median.

Investment Policy
Standard industry practice of designing policy to meet investment objectives, best practices,
development, implementation, monitoring, and documenting the investment process.
The way in which we approach the formulation of a policy and guideline statements depends on
the financial sophistication of the Board. In cases where there are non-financial members of the
Board, we frequently use non-financial analogies to explain risk and asses a Fund’s risk
tolerance.
Demonstrated understanding of elements of IPS and potential need to change based on market
conditions.
Understands the collaborative process of working with Trustees for development and setting
objectives and monitoring managers performance to make timely recommendations.
Includes asset allocations at the end of the policy, in order to make it more accessible and easier
to modify without changing the body of the document.
Asset Allocation
Follows standard industry practices.
Driven by Investment Policy – selection of managers and monitoring performance.
Uses both qualitative & quantitative analysis.
Performs an asset allocation study at the onset of every client relationship and then every 2 to 3
years.
Dahab uses the extensive database provided by our consultant’s cooperative group to show plan
sponsors what their peers are doing in terms of asset allocation.
Provides steady guidance; an estimated 90% of investment performance is due to the asset mix
chosen. Boards need information to make the right decisions and maintain a “steady course”.
Asset/liability program (in-house program used to perform A/L study) can run many scenarios to
help the board understand the allocations. Very good explanation of modeling technique and
understandability.
Investment Manager Identification
Will conduct unlimited manager and custodian searches as direct by the Board. Does not work
from a preferred list of investment managers
Selected through RFP process using both proprietary and purchased manager databases. Most
manager search assignments are completed in a period of six to eight weeks.
A universe of potential candidates is created from the manager submissions.
Dahab will discuss possible managers with members of the Board and bring in finalists (typically
three) to make presentations.
Have both proprietary and purchased manager databases. The in-house database contains
qualitative information on more than 1,000 managers. This information is updated through on-
site meetings.

Page 144
Dahab Associates continued
Investment Manager Identification (continued)
Dahab strives to avoid manager turnover. Typically, a manager is given a probationary period to
address any concerns the Board may have before they are fired. Managers are held to strict
standards, but excessive turnover is expensive and not in the best interest of the client.
They have four (4) analysts responsible for investment manager research. Conduct
approximately 300-400 manager meetings each year.
No affiliations that could present a conflict of interest.
Performance Measurement
Use their own proprietary software and in-house computer facilities to produce the quarterly
performance report.
All investment analytics done in-house and subscribes to outside databases and analytic services
for investment research.
Dahab references a turnaround time for approximately six weeks after the end of each calendar

Asset Allocation
Modeling is built in-house and uses industrial strength software tools
Recommend clients formally reevaluate their strategic asset allocations at least annually, and
review and update those allocations quarterly against market conditions. Do not always
recommend strategic change but it is important to reevaluate the capital markets and current
economic cycle on regular basis.
Open architecture of investment choices
May recommend the addition of a glide path strategy. The approach would be to gradually shift
assets from the total return generating portion of the portfolio to a fixed income liability driven
investing (LDI) portfolio over time as the funded status of the portfolio improves.
The goal of the LDI portfolio is to match the duration of that component of the portfolio to the
key risk characteristics of the pension liability, thereby creating a hedge to lock in gains in
funded status and reduce overall risk.
Recommend incorporating specific triggers (% change in funded status, interest rate moves,
equity market levels) into the investment policies that will gradually shift the portfolios from
risky assets to the hedged portfolios over time.
Investment Manager Identification
The Firm’s Manager Research Group analyzes investment managers through externally sourced
databases and through internally maintained data. WTIA does not maintain a proprietary
