Municipalities & Political Subdivisions

County governments and any political subdivisions (such as a county hospital) in South Carolina have specific fixed-income investment and reporting needs. Greenwood Capital has managed the municipal assets of more than 10 of the 46 counties in South Carolina.

Opportunity

A mid-sized municipality had accumulated over $15 million in “excess capital” from tax receipts. The county treasurer, referred to us by another treasurer in South Carolina, wanted to know how to best invest and safeguard these assets for her constituents.

Solution

South Carolina municipalities can only invest in specific tax-exempt securities. Not all asset management firms can implement an investment mandate within the nuance of these legal requirements, whether in-state or not. But we do. We created a custom investment plan for the county and were available as a resource to present the plan and any updates during county council meetings.

Outcome

Due to our stringent and disciplined recommendations, the county’s operational assets increased by over $200,000 in approximately six months. The treasurer and her committee have been pleased with the direct access and special attention she has to our senior investment team.
