INVESTMENT REPORT
Mr. Richard Yada explained New Mexico had been down 2% over the year and had
underperformed in the market. In November, the board had changed companies and gone to
Merrill Lynch Private Portfolio Group. They had started slowing investing in December. They
were still getting into the stock market. They were having a hard time finding a value in stock.
He explained the change would probably have a negative affect because New Mexico had shown
a loss in capitol gains. He hoped they would be able to recover before the next actuary.
The income account was up 6% for the year. Ashland was up over 34% for the year. They had
out performed the market by over 6%. He thought the income account would have a harder time
this year getting a higher rate of return.
Current asset allocation: 41 % Stocks, 44% Bonds, 14.5% Cash and 1% other. Their target for
stocks was 47%. They were currently were they wanted their asset allocation.

continued growth in 1999. They did not see a significant slow down in economic activity as they
had seen in October. They did not see any down turn in the economy at this point. However,
what was going on in Latin America with Brazilian situation which would have an affect on
exports in this country If their crisis spread then they would have to revise their forecast. They
were not as comfortable with what they were seeing in the stock market. 1998 was the four
significant up year in a roll, which had never happened before. There were some serious
excesses in the market, especially in the Inter net stock which was a mania. People were buy
stock at a high price in companies which had no earnings They were looking for some type of
corrective phase in the first half of the year. They were going to be cautious for a while, but long
term it should be a good time to invest. Currently, they were being very conservative.

Investment Strategy
•
Ashland Management Incorporated manages equity accounts, fixed income accounts, and balanced
accounts on a discretionary basis for individuals, trusts, charitable foundations, corporations, and corporate and
public pension and profit-sharing plans.
Ashland does not provide investment supervisory services or render investment advisory services in any
manner other than on a discretionary basis. Ashland is not, and does not hold itself out to be, a financial planner.
At October 31, 1998, Ashland managed an aggregate of 51,378,794,000 in accounts for 936 clients, of
which 749 were "wrap -fee" accounts.
4
In managing equity accounts, (which may be comprised of large capitalization or middle capitalization
securities), Ashland employs a fundamental approach to investing in growth -oriented securities of middle and/or
large capitalization companies. Ashland invests the assets of managed accounts in common stocks, both exchange -
listed and over-the-counter, of domestic and, occasionally, foreign issuers (primarily in the form of American
depository receipts) which it considers to have positive earnings and above -median levels of profitability. If
requested by the client, Ashland may purchase or sell options on equity securities. Clients are permitted to impose
investment restrictions and guidelines which are consistent with Ashland's investment strategy and acceptable to
Ashland. Such restrictions may relate to a particular security, an entire industry, or an investment rating or may
require that a particular security be held and not sold.
Ashland's investment strategy for equity accounts is fundamental, using both the Standard & Poor's
Compustat data base and the Baseline data base. Stocks for middle capitalization accounts are selected bases which
are comprised of issuers, not all of which qualify as mid -capitalization companies under Ashland's existing strategy.
The ranges of capitalization of such mid -capitalization securities are intended to approximate those of the
Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index.
Both the large capitalization and middle capitalization strategies of Ashland are supplemented by research
sources and services which it deems reliable. Ashland's investment decisions are based primarily upon reported
financial information.
Equity securities are selected on the basis of a number of financial screens and a calculation of the "rational
value" of the security. The financial criteria currently employed by Ashland in its stock selection process include
return on equity, reinvestment rate, and earnings momentum. Generally, the universes of securities eligible for
purchase are different for Ashland's large capitalization and middle capitalization strategies, although there may be
some overlap. Furthermore, the financial screens for the large capitalization strategy and those for the middle
capitalization strategy may vary in certain respects.
Ashland's middle capitalization strategy seeks to identify issuers with characteristics of growth and
positive earnings growth which have returns on equity and reinvestment rates which are above the median levels of
each such criterion in the universe of eligible securities.
Middle capitalization portfolios may hold stocks of a larger number of issuers than do large capitalization
portfolios. All of such factors and criteria are, of course, subject to revision for each of the strategies.
Both the large capitalization and middle capitalization strategies are supplemented by research and services
which Ashland deems reliable.
Pending investment, or at such times as Ashland's strategy calls for reduction in, or limitation of exposure
to, common stocks, funds in equity accounts may be invested in United States Treasury securities or other short-
term instruments or in money market accounts. Uninvested cash balances in a client's account which are
temporarily invested in money market funds of brokers or custodians may also be subject to a fee payable by the
money market fund to the adviser to such fund on that portion of the client's account which is from time to time
invested in the money market account.
199
•
Investment decisions for all equities purchased for managed accounts are based primarily upon reported
financial information.
Ashland's investment strategy does not require the sale of a security according to the length of time an
investment has been held.
Ashland does not generally engage in short-term trading (except when sales are dictated by its strategy),
short sales, margin transactions, or, unless directed by the client, the writing of options.
Ashland's asset allocation strategy for equity accounts is based upon the relationship between interest rates
and the values of securities. When an inverted yield curve occurs and Ashland determines that equity securities are
over -valued, equity holdings may be significantly reduced or eliminated.
Ashland reviews managed equity accounts on an on-going basis. In addition, the publication of adverse
data concerning an issuer could prompt Ashland to review accounts holding the securities of such issuer. Reviews
presently are conducted by Ashland's portfolio managers. Reviews of both equity and fixed income accounts
include transactions during the month, cash balances, and compliance with the client's investment policy and with
any restrictions imposed by the client.
Reports are sent to clients not less than quarterly and, if requested by the client, may be furnished on a
monthly basis. Reports for equity accounts consist of the security positions of the account by issuer, number of
shares and costs and. recent market values, as well as cash and/or short-term investments. For fixed-income
accounts, the reports include sector analysis of the account's securities and their durations, average yields and
average coupon rates, and the anticipated cash flow from the securities. Reports for. balanced accounts combine the
features of the reports for both equity and fixed income accounts.
Ashland generally publishes a quarterly letter which provides commentaries on the market and discusses
certain individual securities.
Fees: Minimum Account Value
Ashland receives as compensation for its services an annual fee which is a percentage of the assets in the
account under management.
Ashland's standard annual fees for its equity accounts are:
Assets under Management Fee
Amounts to $10 million
Amounts in excess of $10 million up to $30 million
Amounts in excess of $30 million
There is generally a minimum annual fee for equity accounts.
I%
3/4ofl%
1/2of1%
Ashland's fees are negotiable to a certain extent based on the size of the account and services required.
Therefore, there may be circumstances in which the fees are computed on a basis different from those set forth
above.
For fixed-income accounts, Ashland's standard annual fees are .40% for accounts invested primarily in
taxable securities and .25% for accounts invested primarily in tax-exempt securities. Fees for fixed-income
accounts are negotiable to a certain extent, based on the size of the account and the specific needs of the client.
J99
•
•
Fees for balanced accounts are negotiable and are dependent to a certain extent on the respective
proportions of equity and fixed-income securities in the account.
Ashland's current policy is to bill fees quarterly in arrears, based on the average month-end values of an
account during the quarter. Fees are prorated when an account commences or terminates during a calendar quarter.
Ashland generally will not accept an equity account from anindividual with an initial value of less than
$250,000 or from an institution with an initial value of less than $1,000,000. If Ashland accepts an account with a
value lower than these respective minimums, a minimum annual fee may be charged. If the value of an account is
reduced below such respective minimum because of withdrawals by the client, Ashland will review the status of the
account and determine whether to terminate the account or impose a minimum fee.
Brokerage
Ashland's standard form of Investment Advisory Agreement provides that unless the client designates a
broker, Ashland will select the firm or firms through which securities transactions for such client's account will be
effected. The major factors used by Ashland to determine which broker is selected, in situations in which Ashland
has discretion to choose the broker are: (a) quality of execution; (b) commissions charged; and (c) research and
portfolio analysis services. Ashland also takes into account the size and difficulty of the specific order.
Ashland serves as a sub -sub -adviser to a registered investment company. The agreement pursuant to which
Ashland performs such advisory services for such investment company provides that Ashland is to direct 25% of
the brokerage transactions for the investment company's portfolio to broker-dealers which will provide services to
defray the costs of operating such investment company.
For the execution of securities transactions for clients which grant to Ashland the unrestricted right to
select the broker-dealer, Ashland pays negotiated commissions which are the same for all shares included in a trade.
Ashland does not pay a higher rate of commissions because of any services provided by any broker-dealer which it
has unrestricted authority to select. Clients which do not grant to Ashland the authority to select broker-dealers for
their accounts may incur higher transaction costs than those clients which authorize Ashland to select broker-
dealers.
Trades for Ashland's clients are either executed individually (where the broker-dealer designated by the
client has not been designated by any of Ashland's other clients) or "bunched" on a daily basis (where multiple
clients have designated the same broker-dealer or when Ashland has the right to select the broker-dealer to execute
transactions for the client's account). When trades are bunched through a particular broker-dealer, each account
receives the average price for the transactions. In this manner, all clients whose trades are executed through the
same broker-dealer on the same date are treated equally. The bunching of orders does not adversely affect the
aggregate price at which transactions are executed. In fact, Ashland deems the "bunching" of trades as a vehicle for
potentially obtaining more efficient pricing of transactions.
Ashland receives research and other services or products within the parameters of Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act. Ashland presently has certain arrangements whereby it directs brokerage subject to the
requirements of best execution (which is a function of both price and commission) and receives various analytical
services from brokers. All of the services provided by broker-dealers to Ashland pursuant to such arrangements are
research services used by Ashland in the making of investment management decisions. Such services include: data
bases used for securities research; performance data bases; statistical services; news and quotation services utilized
for research and for voting of securities held in managed accounts; investment seminars; and transaction cost
analyses. None of such services relate to general administrative or other functions of Ashland. Research services
provided by broker-dealers or third -party providers for accounts for which Ashland has the authority to select
broker-dealers are used to benefit all of the accounts managed by Ashland. Therefore, an account may benefit from
services provided by a broker-dealer which does not execute transactions for such account. Conversely, an account
may pay commissions to a broker-dealer which provides services that also benefit other accounts.
2)99
Ashland reviews on an on-going basis the commission rates paid to the broker-dealers which it selects to
effect transactions and the quality of the execution services performed by such broker-dealers.
Management
The members of Ashland's Investment Committee are: Charles C. Hickox, Chairman of the Board; Parry v.
S. Jones, President; Terence J. McLaughlin, Managing Director; Robert J. Flynn, Vice President; and Nicholas P.
Jones, Vice President.
Charles C. Hickox (b. 1936), a graduate of Columbia University, has been Chairman, Secretary and a
Director of Ashland since 1980.
Parry v. S. Jones (b. 1936), a graduate of Brown University, has been President, Treasurer and a Director
of Ashland since 1975.
- Terence J. McLaughlin (b. 1958), a graduate of St. John's University, has been employed by Ashland since
1984, has been a Vice President of Ashland since 1989, and was named a Managing Director in 1992.
Robert J. Flynn (b. 1946), a graduate of Northeastern University, has been a Vice President of Ashland
since November 1991. From June 1989 to November 1991, he was a Vice President of Smith Barney, Upham,
Harris & Co.; from May 1988 to June 1989, he was a Vice President with Dean Witter, Incorporated; and from July

Nicholas P. Jones (b. 1959), a graduate of University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School, has been employed
by Ashland since 1986: He was elected a Vice President in 1991 and was appointed a Portfolio Manager in 1996.
Ashland has not adopted formal requirements of education or business experience for those persons
involved in determining or giving investment advice to clients.. However, all present members of Ashland's
Investment Committee have had extensive experience in the securities industry. •
Security Transactions
Charles C. Hickox, Chairman of the Board, and Parry v.S. Jones, President, are also clients of Ashland,
- and, therefore, securities purchased or sold for other clients may also be purchased or sold for their accounts.
Ashland has in effect: (i) policies and procedures to prevent misuse of non-public information; (ii)
supervisory and record-keeping procedures; and (iii) a code of ethics under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
All officers and employees of Ashland are required to submit securities transactions for prior approval by Ashland's
Compliance Officer and to arrange for the delivery to the Compliance Officer of monthly statements for their
accounts. In the event that an officer or employee of Ashland desires to purchase or sell a security being purchased
or sold for the account of a client, the officer or employee will be required to delay execution of his or her personal
transaction until 48 hours after execution of the client's transaction has been completed.
•
incentive Compensation
Ashland has an incentive compensation arrangement for certain marketing employees who are not
executive officers of the company. Pursuant to such arrangement, such employees receive, during the period an
account is managed by Ashland, decreasing percentages of the fees received by Ashland from the accounts which
such employees solicited for Ashland. Such employees are also eligible to participate, through awards from an
incentive "pool", in fees from "wrap -fee" accounts managed by'Ashland.` These arrangements are structuredto
comply with the provisions of Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisers Act.
2199
•
•
• •
Ashland has an arrangement with a financial planning/investment advisory firm which, while not entailing
the payment of' a referral fee, provides for the management by Ashland of accounts for clients of such other firm at
advisory fees which vary from Ashland's standard fees. This arrangement is also structured to comply with the
provisions of Rule 206(4)-3.

NCPERS 1999 Legislative Conference
By Harold A. Schaitberger
Giving an insightful and witty "View From Washington," New York Daily News Washington Bureau Chief Tom DeFrank kicked off the
1999 Legislative Conference. One of Washington's most respected President -watchers, DeFrank shared innumerable tales, trivia and
statistics from six different presidencies. Comparing the current Clinton crisis to the Watergate scandal, DeFrank noted that the cover-up
element has been a "terminal condition" [lithe Clinton White House. DeFrank made no solid forecast on what the outcome of the
impeachment will be, but he did warn the audience that we "can't be sure we know what will happen." Even now, Washington could
surprise us.
The 1999 Conference was a huge success. Nearly 200 participants from 35 states gathered in Washington for discussions on several
issues that will affect public pension plans in the coming year,- and to challenge Congressional and Administration officials on these issues.
After hearing from Mr. DeFrank, the audience received an overview and forecast on the 106th Congress from two viewpoints. Rep.
Steny-Hoyer (D -MD) gave the,Member's perspective;' and Ridge Multop, Senior Economic Advisor to House Minority Leader Richard
Gephardt (D -MO), presented the staff outlook. .
Multop stated that a top priority for this Congress is to make Social
Security and Medicare sound, stating that it was not necessary to
dismantle on privatize either system, and that Rep.
• Gephardt would not support making any changes to the
currentsystem-that would harm publicemployees. (Please.
refer to the recent "Federal Alert" for more information on
Rep. Gephardt's position on Social Security.)
Taking the podium after Multop, Rep. Hoyer said he
was "encouraged" by those comments. Noting that the
105th Congress was the least productive since 1981, Hoyer
also said it remains to be seen what this Congress, under

the leadership of the new Speaker, Dennis Hastert, will focus on. He listed several possible issues, including education, child care, welfare,
trade, the environment, crime and, of course, how to fund Social Security. Emphasizing the need to focus on maintaining pay and benefits
for public employees, Rep. Hoyer encouraged the attendees to be well -versed on not only the specific problems for public employees in the
Social Security debate, but also the larger issue.
Newly -elected Sen. George Voinovich (R -OH), discussed the inherent dangers of mandatory coverage for public employees. Sen.
Voinovich has been one of the most outspoken advocates against mandatory coverage and warned attendees that many lawmakers are still
looking into such a provision. "Thus far the President has not included us in his reform for Social Security. I think that's good news. I think
we need to make sure it's not included in any reform package that he'll be talking about," stated Sen. Voinovich. Including state and local
employees in the System would put "an undue burden" on the successful state and local plans.
As always, the federal budget is of utmost concern to pension officials. Thomas Kahn, Minority Staff Director and Chief Counsel to the
House Budget Committee gave an overview of the 1999 federal budget. (Details on the 2000 budget are outlined on page three.)
During the afternoon session, the audience heard about pension portability from James Delaplane, Vice President of Retirement Policy
for the Association of Private Pension and Welfare Plans (APPWP) and Rep. Ben Cardin (D -MD). Delaplane, who helped draft the
Retirement Account Portability (RAP) Act while he was pension aide to Rep. Earl Pomeroy, reviewed the importance of pension portability.
Delaplane revealed that there is increasing Congressional support for portability initiatives, because "it's an issue that Congress can easily
understand."In addition, Delaplane predicted that the Administration would include a "big chunk" of the RAP Act in its 2000 budget.
Rep. Cardin agreed that portability is gaining support in Congress. His comments revolved around the legislation he introduced in
1998 with Rep. Portman (H.R. 3788) which focused on the portability issue. Cardin stated that he and Portman will likely reintroduce the bill
that will contain minor adjustments. Rep. Cardin received an enthusiastic round ofapplause when he displayed his support for excluding
the mandatory coverage provision from Social Security proposals.
Mort Kievan, Senior Policy Advisor of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor gave a diverse
forecast of issues facing the PWBA, such as Y2K readiness and the debate between DB vs. DC plans. Kievan also predicted that the
Administration's budget would include pension provisions, as well as last year's start-up tax credit geared toward small businesses that
establish retirement plans known as Secure Money Annuity or Retirement Trust.

• Federal Develo pfinents
•
Social Security Legislation — On January 6, Rep Ed Royce (R -CA) introduced legislation aimed at replacing "IOUs" in
the Social Security Trust Fund with real assets. According to Royce, the total amount of IOUs is close to $757 billion. The
Social Security Strengthening and Protection Act (H.R. 160) would use 90 percent of the current budget surplus to repay
the Trust Fund by purchasing Treasury bonds. Royce is among an increasing number of lawmakers calling for a more
honest federal budget accounting system. As of January 8, the bill had only eight cosponsors.
State of the Union Address — President Clinton delivered his State of the Union address on Tuesday, January 19, to
lawmakers, families and guests A key point in the speech was Clinton's plan to rescue Social Security by having the
government invest billions of dollars in the stock market. This plan met with substantial opposition. "I will oppose
government -managed investment in the private sector," stated Rep. Bill Archer (R -TX). Alan Greenspan also expressed his
dislike of the plan, stating, "I do not believe it is
politically feasible to insulate such huge funds."
Clinton also proposed keeping $2 trillion of the
budget surplus on hand as "extra cash" in the Social
Security system. In addition, Clinton suggested that
another 11 percent of the surplus go toward new
government -subsidized 401(k) -style retirement
accounts for most American workers.
Lawmakers Begin Social Security Reform
Compromise — NCPERS has learned that House
Republicans are willing to set aside much of the
surplus to save Social Security. "We would be
willing to reserve 62 percent of the surplus until
Social Security -has been saved," stated Rep. Archer
• (R -TX). GOP leaders-still-dislike=President-Clinton s-pioposal•to=have-the:government-invest=some of -the -Social Security, ,-:
money in the stock market/but their consent -to saving a portion of the surplus is a step in the right direction.
Tax -Free Withdrawals from 401(k) Plans — On January 15, Sen. Roth (R -DE) announced he plans to introduce a bill that
would allow tax-free withdrawals from 401(k) and 403(b) plans within a new type of tax code. This legislation is modeled
after the Roth IRA and would allow individuals to contribute after-tax money to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan and withdraw the
money tax-free upon retirement. Employees would be allowedto contribute up to the maximum amount determined
under the respective 401(k) or 403(b) plan, rather than the $2,000 limit imposed under Roth IRAs. Sen. Roth, who is
Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said his proposal seeks to encourage increased retirement savings. "If we can
increase savings, we can not only help individuals with their retirement and alleviate some of the pressure on Social
Security, but we can help keep our economy groin ing;' he stated.
Budget Negotiations — President Clinton sent his budget to Congress on February 1, and in true partisan fashion, the
parties began battling over tax and budget policy. Republicans would like to see an across-the-board 10 percent cut in the
personal tax rate. Clinton, on the other hand, believes a 10 percent income tax cut would "waste a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity" to shore up Social Security and Medicare. The $1.77 trillion spending plan includes a $1,000 tax credit to help
people handle long-term health care costs, and a $250 credit for stay-at-home parents, caring for infants below the age of 1.
Clinton also calls for increasing taxes and fees by $82 billion over the next five years. To save Social Security, Clinton
proposes spending 62 percent of government surpluses over the next 15 years ($2.76 trillion) to help bolster the System's
cash reserves.
PBGC Encourages Defined Benefit Plans — On January 22, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)
announced that "employers need incentives, flexibility, and simplified tax code rules so they can offer defined benefit
plans." David Strauss, executive Director of the PBGC went on to say, "a defined benefit plan is the only private
retirement vehicle that reliably provides predictable, secure benefits for life."
Daschle Introduces Pension Legislation —Senate Minority Leader Thomas Daschle (D -SD) introduced a bill that would
provide pension reform, lessen the tax penalty for marriage, and bar any changes to the Senate pay-as-you-go rule until
•Congress saves Social Security. S. 8, which was introduced on January 19, would allow couples filing Joint tax returns to
deduct an amount equal to 20 percent of the income of the lower earning spouse. The bill also allows workers who do not
have pension coverage to build their own retirement savings through direct contributions to an individual retirement account.
Lawmakers are hoping that 1999 will be a year of action
with regards to Social Security reform and retirement pol-
icy issues. Realizing that there is more than a Social Secu-
rity problem, but a retirement security problem, Rep.
Nancy Johnson (R -CT) stated, "Addressing one without
the other would leave half the problem unresolved. If Con-
gress fails to reform the private pension system, then we
would have done less than half, the job."
