29 Key Points Interest earned on investments during Q was $25,921. Average Yield for Q was 1.000% on our TexPool investments, which is trending in-line with increases in the 90-day T-bill for the same period. The increase in yield is expected given the climate for increased rates. The Federal reserve has left its rates steady at %. Projections expect one more hike in December, and as many as three in 2018, with rates to settle somewhere around 2.75% in the next 16 months. The Fed has also actively reducing its balance sheet, allowing $10 million a month in mortgage securities and bonds to mature without reinvesting. This, along with rising interest rates is aimed at reducing the liquidity of cash in the market.
