The General Assembly created the first local government investment pool in 1975 so communities statewide could invest their money together to earn greater returns. Today, the pool is called the Illinois Funds, and its portfolio holds more than $6.5 billion.
The Treasurer’s Office features two investment options, the Money Market Fund and the Prime Fund. Both funds have earned Standard & Poor’s AAAm rating.
