FHLB Des Moines Approves Second Quarter 2014 Dividend

The FHLB Des Moines Board of Directors has approved a second quarter 2014 dividend for both the average activity-based capital stock and average membership capital stock outstanding during the quarter. The dividend approved for activity-based capital stock was at an annualized rate of 3.50 percent. The dividend approved for membership capital stock was at an annualized rate of 0.50 percent. The effective combined annualized dividend rate for both subclasses of capital stock outstanding was 2.81 percent. However, the effective combined dividend rate on the total stock held by each member will depend on their level of activity with the Bank during the second quarter.

These dividends will total $19.4 million, which represents 72 percent of net income for the second quarter, and are expected to be paid on August 15, 2014. Average three-month LIBOR and average Federal funds rates for the second quarter 2014 were 0.23 percent and 0.09 percent, respectively.
