Our Guiding Principles
The Office of the State Treasurer Arizona never loses sight of the fact that the money it manages belongs to taxpayers. That understanding and commitment forges our guiding principles:
Safety – The Treasurer’s first responsibility is to protect taxpayer dollars
Security – Invest in high-quality, investment-grade investments to minimize risk
Performance – Investment officers strategically plan to produce the highest possible yields
Accountability – Precise distributions to local governments and public schools and precise accounting to facilitate state agency withdrawals
Integrity – Responsible to follow all state laws and communicate honestly with the public
Transparency – Open books for public inspection of how we manage taxpayer dollars
