Welcome to the IPDLAF+ Class 

IPDLAF+ is a class of the Illinois Portfolio, a series of the Illinois Trust (the “Trust”). The Illinois Portfolio is a diversified, open-end, actively managed investment trust designed to address the short-term cash investment needs of Illinois public Investors, including park districts, forest preserve districts, conservation districts, joint recreational programs and other public agencies.

Investments designed for Illinois' park entities 

The Trust, through its various services, provides Investors an opportunity to maximize their income potential while maintaining safety, liquidity and yield as their primary investment objectives. Currently, the Trust offers Investors the following investment options:  

• Illinois Portfolio*. This investment stresses “safety of principal” as its #1 objective – a fact underscored by its  AAAm** rating from Standard & Poor’s.
• Illinois TERM. This fixed rate investment offers terms from 60 days to one year and is designed to match the cash flow requirements of Investors with the cash flows from the portfolio, and has a AAAf*** rating from Fitch.

Investors also have access to a range of additional products authorized by the Board of Trustees and administered by PFM Asset Management LLC (“PFM” or the “Investment Adviser”), the Investment Adviser of the Trust.

Distinctive structure, specialized focus 

The Trust’s structure differs from its competitors, enabling it to offer services exclusively to Illinois park entities and public agencies. These attributes set the Trust apart:

• The Trust is owned and operated by its Investors, ensuring that the Trust remains focused on the particular needs of Illinois municipal investors.
• Investors elect members of the Board of Trustees – members who are responsible for overall management of the Trust, including formulation and implementation of investment and operating policies and selection of various professional organizations to provide services to the Trust.

**Standard & Poor’s fund ratings are based on analysis of credit quality, market price exposure and management. According to Standard & Poor’s rating criteria, the AAAm rating signifies excellent safety of invested principal and a superior capacity to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value and the AAAf rating signifies that a portfolio's holdings provide extremely strong protection against losses from credit defaults. However, it should be understood that these ratings are not “market” ratings or a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the securities. For a full description on rating methodology, visit Standard & Poor’s website (http://www.standardandpoors.com/en_US/web/guest/home).

***The AAAf rating reflects Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") review of the Term program's investment and credit guidelines, the portfolio's credit quality and diversification, as well as the capabilities of PFM Asset Management LLC as investment adviser.  It indicates the highest underlying credit quality (or lowest vulnerability to default).  However, it should be understood that this rating is not a "market" rating nor a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the securities.  For a full description on rating methodology visit www.finchratings.com.
