Irma Cauley, Commissioner Candy Gallego, Administrative Assistant FROM: Kay Hamilton, County Treasurer RE: Quarter Ending 09/30/2009 Investment Report Bryan, Texas 77803 (979) 361-4340 This report is made in accordance with provisions of Gov.Code 2256, The Public Funds Investment Act, which requires quarterly reporting of investment transactions to the Commissioners' Court. The Brazos County Investment portfolio earned an average yield of 0.3195% on the quarterly average balance of $2,337,895.02 invested with TexPool for the period ending 09/30/2009. Investment interest deposited during the quarter was $1,884.88. Actual ending balance for September 2009 was $2, 338,480.22 The average Earnings Credit Rate on checking account interest for the quarter ending 09/30/2009 was 0.5267% netting $110,122.13 on an average depository balance of $82,787,754.00 Total year-end interest earned $ 610,870.81 Investment Strategy In consideration of the current uncertain market conditions, the Brazos County Investment Strategy will remain biased toward safety of County funds first and foremost. As economists continue to anticipate a possible increase in the Fed rate, purchasing securities that would lock in historically low yields for a longer term would represent a maturity risk. It seems prudent, therefore, to protect County funds by keeping the majority of available funds in the County's depository where all funds are 110% collateralized. The County also maintains an investment account with Texpool which, though not collateralized, does provide the safety of an overnight market. At this time, the County's investment strategy remains unchanged with a concentration of County funds in the Brazos County Depository. Vol. 1,2 PS pg, ,20_3 Summary of Portfolio Changes The deposit of interest is the only portfolio change to balances at this time and the Weighted Average Maturity of investments remains at 1 day due to the liquidity of funds invested with TexPool and on deposit at Citi Bank of Texas.
