  1. W U R T S A S S O C I A T E S M EMORANDUM To: Board of Trustees, Fresno Country Employees’ Retirement Association From: Jeffrey MacLean, Wurts & Associates Date: May 1, 2008 Re: Counterparty Risk In light of the recent problems confronting Bear Stearns, the FCERA Board of Trustees directed Wurts & Associates to inquire about the counterparty exposures within the fixed income portfolios. A memorandum was sent to Western Asset Management Company (“WAMCO”), Blackrock, Loomis Sayles, Bradford & Marzec, and GMO to provide the following: • Detailed list of all counterparty exposures in the portfolio • Information about the initial due diligence process and on-going review procedures of all counterparties • An opinion about the current status of counterparty risk given the current market conditions. While Wurts & Associates cannot provide an opinion on the relative security of any of the counterparty positions within the portfolio nor can we say for sure that an adverse event will never occur, we believe the managers employed by FCERA understand the risks associated with these investments and are qualified to prudently manage these securities. We have compiled each manager’s response for easy reference. Please feel free to call me anytime at 310.297.1777 should you have any questions. Otherwise, I look forward to discussing this issue at the May 7 th meeting. Institutional Investment Consultants Seattle and Los Angeles
