The Illinois Trust (the “Trust”) is a diversified, open-end, actively managed investment trust designed to address the short-term cash investment needs of Illinois public Investors, including school districts, municipalities and their political subdivisions and agencies.

Investments designed for Illinois’ local governments (municipalities, counties, school districts and other public agencies)  

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. For more information, see the IIIT Class Fact Sheet. 
• 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 an 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 (“PFMAM” or the “Investment Adviser”), the Investment Adviser of the Trust.

Distinctive structure, specialized focus

**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. However, it should be understood that the rating is not a “market” rating nor a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the securities.
