STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
GOALS AND GUIDELINES
Adopted:
PURPOSE'
The Board of Trustees of the City of Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension Fund has established this Statement of Investment Policy. This
policy hasbeen identified by the Board as .having the greatest expected investment return, and the :resulting positive impact on asset values,'
funded status, and benefits, without exceeding a prudent' level of risk. The Board determined this policy after evaluating the implications of
increased investment return versus increased variability of return for several potential investment policies with varying :commitments to different
asset classes. .
This Statement of Investment Policy is ,intended to complement the investment guidelines provided in applicable State Statutes, and local
ordinances. The purpose of this Statement is to:
1) Provide the investment manager a more accurate understanding of the Trustees' investment.objectives and,
2) Indicate the criteria by which the investment manager's performance will be evaluated.
GENERAL OB7ECTIVES
The primary investment objective of the Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension Fund is to achieve the absolute return objective over the
near-term, intermediate-term and longer-term time periods. The secondary objective is to achieve moderate long-term real growth of the assets
while minimizing the volatility of returns.
1.
To achieve these objectives, the Board of Trustees seeks to create a conservative, well diversified and balanced portfolio of asset classes
managed in separate accounts, mutual funds,! commingled funds, and/or limited partnerships. The Board has determined that one or more outside
investment managers'shall be retained to assure that all investments are mana ed in both a rodent and grofessional manner and in corn liance
with the stated investment uidelines. -
INVESTMENT MANAGER RESPONSIBILITIES.
1) Within the guidelines and restrictions set forth herein, it is the intention of the Board of Trustees to give each investment manager full
investment discretion with respect to assets under its management. The investment managers shall discharge their responsibilities in the
same manner.as if the Fund were governed by the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA). Although the Fund Trustees .acknowledge that ERISA does not apply to the Fund as a governmental fund, it hereby
imposes the fiduciary provisions of ERISA upon each investment manager, whose performance shall conform to the statutory provisions,
rules, regulations, interpretations and case law of ERISA. Each investment manager shall acknowledge, in writing, that it is a named
fiduciary of the Fund.
2) Each investment manager is expected to provide .any reasonable information requested by the Board of Trustees. At a minimum, each
manager shall provide a quarterly report detailing their investment activity, the portfolio's current value and any changes in investment
philosophy or strategy. Each investment manager is expected to meet with the Board of Trustees or their designated representatives
periodically to review investment performance and philosophy.
3) Unless otherwise provided by the Fund's Custodian, each investment manager will monitor portfolio activity to minimize uninvested cash
balances.
4) Each investment manager shall be responsible only for those assets under their management.
5) It will be the responsibility of each investment manager to review the monthly valuations provided by the Fund's custodian and to note, in
writing, any significant discrepancies from the valuations provided in their own reports.
2
Florida Statute 112
1. EXPECTED ANNUAL RATE OF. RETURN: With consideration to rates of return from different asset classes, the Board of Trustees has
crafted its investment program in order to deliver an expected rate of return similar to that of the actuarial assumed rate. The Board shall
I
etermine for each actuarial valuation, the total expected annual rate of return for the current year, for each of the next several years and
for the long term thereafter. The total. expected annual rate of return is anticipated to be similar to the actuarial assumed rate of return..
This determination is to be filed with the Department of Management Services and with the plan sponsor and consulting actuary:.
2. CONTINUING EDUCATION: The Board of Trustees relies on its consultants and professionals to provide continuing education on pension
and investment issues., The Board of Trustees also recognize state and regional. conferences, as a source of continuing education. The
Trustees are encouraged to attend conferences, schools, and other functions periodically in order to fulfill this:requirement.
3. FILING: OF INVESTMENT POLICY: The investment policy is to be promptly filed with the Department of Management Services, plan
sponsor and consulting actuary. The effective date of -the investment policy and any amendment thereto shall be the 31st calendar day
following the filing date with the plan. sponsor.

INVESTMENT RIECTIVES
Given the above stated purpose of the Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension Fund, the Board of Trustees recogniies the necessity of a long
-term hodion when formulating investment policies and, strategies.. However, shorter -term investment goals have been established. and are
intended to provide quantifiable benchmarks to measure and evaluate portfolio return and risk.
Most .investment styles require a, full market cycle to allow an investment manager to demonstrate his abilities., A full market cycle is generally
defined as a three to five year time period. As a .result, performance results will be measured over a three to five year period. Performance over
shorter time periods Will be monitored as a means of identifying the trend of results...
The specific- investment objectives of the Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension, Fund areas follows:
Absolute Return 'Objective: The goal of the Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension Fund shall be to achieve an
average annual rate of return greater than 7.800/a net of investment expenses, over the longer term (3 to 5 years).
Market Return Objective: In order to provide a reference of fund return and risk relative to a similar basket of passive
assets, the board has developed a `Target Index". The fund's objective is to achieve a rate of return over the long term
(3 -to 5 years), which exceeds the return of a Target Index:
The Target Index for the Boynton Beach General Employees' Pension Fund is defined as a 35%
investment in the Russell 1000 Stock Index, a 10% investment in the Russell 2000 Stock, Index, a 20%
investment in the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Stock Index, a 15% investment in the NCREIF
Property Index and a 20% investment in the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.
Peer Return Objective: It is expected that the total rate of. return earned by the Fund and the returns earned by the
stock and bond portions of the portfolio will each rank in the top 50% when compared to a representative universe of
other, similarly managed portfolios.

Investment Philosophy
Large Cap Growth
Investment Philosophy
• Invest in leadership companies where we believe the market price underestimates the magnitude of future growth
• Use stock selection as primary driver — identify category leaders with characteristics to sustain that position
• Find secular tailwinds to support multi-year investment opportunities, allowing for compounding of earnings and cash flow
• Perform rigorous analysis to understand company fundamentals, key competitive dynamics and industry structure
— Believe the best business models win over time
• Identify barriers to entry and prefer companies with innovation prowess, regardless of size
• Look for businesses that protect and grow market share consistently
• Gravitate to self -funding business models with significant recurring revenue
— Seek businesses with the ability to generate superior free cash flow over time
• Stress test the sustainability of profitability and growth
— Take a disciplined approach to valuation
Points of Differentiation
• High conviction, concentrated, low turnover approach
• Bottom-up driven investment decisions
• Diversification across growth spectrum (cyclical, stable, select)

Additional Important Information
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth
Risks
Although holdings are primarily focused on large -cap companies, limited investments may also be made in mid -cap stocks, which typically involve a
higher degree of risk than large -cap stocks.
Characteristics
The holdings and characteristics shown are based on a representative portfolio included in the Composite. Individual client accounts may differ from
holdings and characteristics shown. For illustrative purposes only. Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change at any time.
Portfolio holdings may not be representative of the portfolio manager's current or future investments and are subject to change at any time. The
information provided is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell a particular security or
be used as the sole basis for an investor to make an investment decision.
The sector weightings and capitalization ranges shown are based on a representative portfolio included in the Composite and are subject to change at
any time. Individual client accounts may differ from the sector weightings and capitalization ranges. The information provided is for informational
purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to over or underweight any particular sector.
Performance
Composite performance is shown gross of fees. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees which are
described in Part 2A of ClearBridge Investments, LLC's Form ADV. The returns will also be reduced by expenses a client may incur. As fees are
deducted quarterly, the compounding effect will be to increase the impact of fees by an amount directly related to the gross account performance.
For example, on an account with an annual 0.70% fee, if the gross performance is 10%, the compounding effect of the fees will result in net
performance of approximately 9.23%, annually.
Opinions and Views
The opinions and views expressed herein are of the ClearBridge Investments, LLC Large Cap Growth portfolio management team as of the date shown,
and may differ from other managers, or the firm as a whole, and are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or
investment advice. The statistics have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of this information
cannot be guaranteed.

Endnotes
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth
n/m - Information is not statistically meaningful due to an insufficient number of
portfolios in the composite for the entire year.
Compliance Statement: ClearBridge Investments, LLC claims compliance with the
Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS(k) and has prepared and
presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ClearBridge
Investments, LLC has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1997 -
December 31, 2013.
Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite
construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm -wide basis and (2) the
firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance
in compliance with the GIPS standards. The ClearBridge Large Cap Growth
composite has been examined for the periods January 1, 2005 - December 31,
2013. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon
request.
Firm Information: ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge") is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason"). The investment advisory business
now known as ClearBridge was registered in September 2005 to facilitate Legg
Mason's acquisition of substantially all the equity asset management businesses
known as Citigroup Asset Management. These former businesses serve as the
foundation of ClearBridge and its claim of GIPS compliance for institutional
accounts through predecessor firms, effective as of January 1997. In June 2008,
ClearBridge combined this business with its retail business to form a single GIPS
firm. On April 1, 2013, ClearBridge's affiliate, Global Currents Investment
Management, LLC, was merged into ClearBridge.
ClearBridge
Investments
Composite Information: The ClearBridge Large Cap Growth composite consists of
institutional discretionary accounts with an account minimum of US $1 million. All
accounts within the composite are invested in issuers that demonstrate high
earnings growth rates. All accounts within the composite are primarily invested in
large -capitalization U.S. equities, with an objective of outperforming the Russell
1000 Growth Index. The main risks of this strategy are issuer risk, concentration
risk, market capitalization risk and equity risk. Prior to June 2008, the account
minimum was $10 million.
Input and Calculation Data: Returns reflect the deduction of all trading expenses
and the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Gross of fee returns do not
reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees or any other expenses that may
be incurred in the management of the account. Net of fee returns are calculated
using model investment advisory fees and are derived by deducting 1/12th of the
maximum fixed fee rate in effect for the respective time period from the gross
monthly composite return. The management fee schedule currently in effect is as
follows: [0.65% on the first $25 million, 0.55% on the next $25 million and 0.40%
above $50 million]. ClearBridge's investment advisory fees are described in Part 2A
of Form ADV. The internal dispersion of annual returns is measured by the asset -
weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns included in the composite for the
entire year. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Policies for
valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations
are available upon request. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results.
Benchmark Information: The Russell 10009 Growth Index measures the
performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price -to -book ratios and
higher forecasted growth values. Benchmark returns are not covered by the report
of independent verifiers.

Compliance Statement: ClearBridge Investments, LLC claims compliance with the
Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS(k) and has prepared and
presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ClearBridge
Investments, LLC has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1997 -
December 31, 2013.
Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite
construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm -wide basis and (2) the
firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance
in compliance with the GIPS standards. The ClearBridge Large Cap Growth
composite has been examined for the periods January 1, 2005 - December 31,
2013. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon
request.
Firm Information: ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge") is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason"). The investment advisory business
now known as ClearBridge was registered in September 2005 to facilitate Legg
Mason's acquisition of substantially all the equity asset management businesses
known as Citigroup Asset Management. These former businesses serve as the
foundation of ClearBridge and its claim of GIPS compliance for institutional
accounts through predecessor firms, effective as of January 1997. In June 2008,
ClearBridge combined this business with its retail business to form a single GIPS
firm. On April 1, 2013, ClearBridge's affiliate, Global Currents Investment
Management, LLC, was merged into ClearBridge.
ClearBridge
Investments
Composite Information: The ClearBridge Large Cap Growth composite consists of
institutional discretionary accounts with an account minimum of US $1 million. All
accounts within the composite are invested in issuers that demonstrate high
earnings growth rates. All accounts within the composite are primarily invested in
large -capitalization U.S. equities, with an objective of outperforming the Russell
1000 Growth Index. The main risks of this strategy are issuer risk, concentration
risk, market capitalization risk and equity risk. Prior to June 2008, the account
minimum was $10 million.
Input and Calculation Data: Returns reflect the deduction of all trading expenses
and the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Gross of fee returns do not
reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees or any other expenses that may
be incurred in the management of the account. Net of fee returns are calculated
using model investment advisory fees and are derived by deducting 1/12th of the
maximum fixed fee rate in effect for the respective time period from the gross
monthly composite return. The management fee schedule currently in effect is as
follows: [0.65% on the first $25 million, 0.55% on the next $25 million and 0.40%
above $50 million]. ClearBridge's investment advisory fees are described in Part 2A
of Form ADV. The internal dispersion of annual returns is measured by the asset -
weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns included in the composite for the
entire year. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Policies for
valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations
are available upon request. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results.
Benchmark Information: The Russell 10009 Growth Index measures the
performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price -to -book ratios and
higher forecasted growth values. Benchmark returns are not covered by the report
of independent verifiers.
