We believe members' investment in our capital stock is comparable to investing in high-grade short-term, or adjustable-rate, money market instruments or in adjustable-rate preferred equity instruments. Therefore, we structure our risk exposure so that earnings tend to move in the same direction as changes in short-term market rates.

Capital Plan
In 1999, Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which required the FHLB to develop a new capital structure that produces a more permanent source of capital, establishes new minimum investment requirements for members, and facilitates compliance with the law’s new capital requirements. Subsequent to the promulgation of associated new capital regulations issued by the FHLB’s regulator in January 2001, the FHLB developed and implemented its new capital plan in December 2002. Our capital plan, as amended since its inception, provides for the governance and regulation of its capital structure and complies with all regulatory and legislative requirements.
A copy of the FHLB’s current Capital Plan can be found here.
Questions regarding the capital plan should be directed to Public Affairs at 877-925-3452 or Credit Services at 800-828-4191.
