II. Investments Results - First Quarter 2014

DIF Investment Portfolio

  • On March 31, 2014, the total liquidity (also total market value) of the DIF investment portfolio stood at $45.0 billion, higher than its December 31, 2013, balance of $42.5 billion.  During the quarter, interest revenue, receivership dividends, and deposit insurance assessment collections exceeded resolution-related outlays and operating expenses.
  • On March 31, 2014, the DIF investment portfolio’s yield was 0.56 percent, up 11 basis points from its December 31, 2013, yield of 0.45 percent.  Two factors primarily contributed to the increase.  During the quarter, newly purchased Treasury securities generally had higher yields than maturing securities.  And low yielding overnight investments comprised a much smaller percentage of the portfolio at quarter end. 
  • In accordance with the approved first quarter 2014 DIF portfolio investment strategy, staff purchased a total of 19 short- to intermediate-maturity conventional Treasury securities, all designated as available-for-sale (AFS).  The 19 securities had a total par value of $9.5 billion, a weighted average yield of 0.74 percent, and a weighted average maturity (WAM) of 2.57 years.
