Our Story

The IMET Core Fund (fka the 1-3 Year Fund) is designed for public funds that may be invested for longer than one year. The Core Fund carries the highest rating available (AAAf/bf) from Moody's. The IMET Core Fund performance is listed on IMET's home page.

The IMET Convenience Fund (CVF) is designed to accommodate funds requiring high liquidity, including short term cash management programs and temporary investment of bond proceeds. It is comprised of collateralized bank deposits, FDIC inusred certificates of deposit and US government securities. The current Convenience Fund rate is listed on IMET's home page.
