It has been a busy summer at CalTRUST as we successfully transitioned our investment management, custody, and fund accounting/recordkeeping services. We know that this has been a lot of change and we appreciate your patience during these transitions! With all the transitions now complete we are excited to be moving forward with our new services providers and partnering with them to find new ways to better serve our participants. Here are some key reminders from the transitions:

• Login information for the CalTRUST Participant Portal and Online Trading system was updated! If you have not already logged in, the new website for the CalTRUST portal can be accessed here.  In addition to the new site, all user IDs have been updated to each individual's first initial + last name. For accountability and security reasons, agency-wide user IDs are no longer available. If you have any trouble logging in, please contact Laura Labanieh (916.650.8186; laura@caltrust.org) or Kyle Tanaka (916.650.8114; kyle@caltrust.org). If you missed the webinar on the new system, the slides can be accessed here.
• Our new toll-free telephone number is 833-CalTRUST (833-225-8787). Through this new number you will be able to reach CalTRUST staff (Laura Labanieh and Kyle Tanaka) as well as Gemini Shareholder Services.
• The Transaction Form has been updated with new wire instructions, effective August 1st. This updated form is available in the online portal.
• The existing Short- and Medium-Term funds remain in place. The previous government and money market funds were replaced with the following (effective July 3rd):
• BlackRock FedFund Institutional Government Fund
• BlackRock TempFund Institutional Money Market Fund
• Transaction cut-off times have been updated to the following:
• Short-Term Fund: 9:30am PST
• Medium-Term Fund: 9:30am PST
• FedFund: 1:00pm PST
• TempFund: 11:00am PST
• Medium-Term Fund liquidity is now on a t+3 basis. Whereas previously medium-term transactions could only be conducted on Wednesdays with five business days notice, they can now be transacted any day of the week with three business days notice.
• Follow CalTRUST on Twitter @CalTRUST_JPA to stay up-to-date. 

The CalTRUST Board of Trustees will be meeting in Santa Barbara County on Wednesday, September 13th. At this meeting they will review the transitions and meet with all of our new service providers, as well as the current administrator, to discuss the status of the program and ideas for the future. If you would like more information on the Board meeting or have items that you would like the Board to consider, please contact Laura Labanieh (916.650.8186; laura@caltrust.org).
