The securities of the NCCMT Government Portfolio, a SEC- registered (2a-7) money market mutual fund, are valued at amortized cost, which is the NCCMT’s share price. The NCCMT Term Portfolio has a duration of 0.15 years, and is also an eligible investment for City funds, investing in high-grade money market securities including obligations of the U.S. Treasury and the State of North Carolina. The NCCMT – Term Portfolio’s securities are valued at fair value.
