The Minnesota Association of Governments Investing for Counties ("MAGIC" or the "Fund") is a joint powers entity in the form of a common law trust organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota Joint Powers Act. The Fund was established in the fall of 1990 for the purpose of allowing Minnesota Counties and instrumentalities of Counties to pool their investment funds to seek the highest possible investment yield, while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.

Investments designed for Minnesota Counties and Instrumentalities of Counties 

MAGIC provides investments tailored to the specific needs of Minnesota Counties and County instrumentalities, investing only in instruments permitted under Minnesota law.

MAGIC Portfolio offers its Investors a short-term money market portfolio, which offers a competitive rate. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share net asset value and stresses “safety of principal” as its #1 objective.

MAGIC Term  This fixed rate investment offers terms from 60 days to 1 year, and is designed to match the cash flow requirements of Investors with the cash flows from the portfolio.

MAGIC Investors also have access to a range of additional products authorized by the Board of Directors and administered by PFM Asset Management LLC (“PFMAM” or “Investment Adviser”), the Investment Adviser for the Fund.
