Third Quarter 2019 Dividend

The FHLB Des Moines (the Bank) Board of Directors approved a third quarter 2019 dividend at an annualized rate of 5.75 percent on activity-based stock and 3.25 percent on membership stock, unchanged from the prior quarter. Dividend payments totaling $65 million are expected to be paid on November 8, 2019. 

The effective combined annualized dividend rate for the Bank on both subclasses of capital stock outstanding is 5.18 percent; however, the effective combined dividend rate on the total capital stock held by each shareholder will depend on their level of activity with the Bank during the third quarter.
