Jim Koetting is the CEO and founder of Public Fund Investment Tracking Reporting (PFITR) and Public Fund Investment
Strategies (formerly Reserve Fund Management) in St. Charles, Missouri, and author of the book
Public Fund Investing For Dummies. He works with public institutions to minimize and expose
investment risks that are often missed, implement investment strategies with reporting systems,
and find hidden money in portfolios; his most appreciated service is reducing often-overlooked
negative arbitrage in bond issues. Inspired by an “epidemic” of investment and portfolio management
ignorance in the public sector, Mr. Koetting wrote Public Fund Investing For Dummies, introducing
it in May, 2007 during the Government Financial Officers Association (GFOA) National Conference,
where his booth was inundated with thousands of requests for the book. Public Fund Investing For
Dummies emphasizes writing a plan, building a strategy, and finding competent help in order to
maximize opportunities in a public budget as well as picking investments to match that strategy. |
