RE Quarter Ending 03-31-99 Investment Report
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 a weighted average yield of 4.929% for the quarter
ending 03-31-99 The weighted average maturity of the invested funds was 29.5 days for the total
portfolio. This average Included the one-day to two-day availability of the funds that were invested with
TexPool. At quarter end, Brazos County had an investment cost of $40,016,181.64 that carried a book
value of $40,208,099.73. Total interest deposited for the quarter was $437,618.49 bringing the year-to-
date investment interest income to a total of $826,457.20.
C~
J
Investment rates continued to remain below 5% for short-term securities during the quarter.
Accordingly, the Brazos County Investment portfolio fell to a weighted average yield of 4.929%. The
quarterly rate was slightly above the Treasury 3-month constant maturity (or benchmark) rate of 4.57%
as stated by the Federal Reserve statistical release for the month of March, 1999. The investment
instruments performing over 5% have a minimum maturity of 2 years. In keeping with the policy of
safety and liquidity as primary investment objectives, the maximum allowable stated maturity of an
investment owned by the County is 2 years. Because of short maturities coupled with the concern of the
potential Y2K problems possibly driving short-term rates lower, the Brazos County investment portfolio
should continue to earn slightly less than 5% throughout the remainder of the year.
