San Diego County’s investment pool earned more than $141 million in net interest earnings during the fourth quarter of 2025, County Treasurer Larry Cohen announced Friday.
“In the last quarter of last year, we are happy to report that we realized $141 million dollars in net interest earnings, with an annualized yield of 3.86%, exceeding national inflation,” he said. “A critical function of our office, in addition to collecting property taxes, is to invest public funds wisely and maximize returns for our region.”
Cohen and his office invest funds in “high-quality fixed-income securities on behalf of local agencies” with an eye toward reducing taxpayer burden.
“My office is dedicated to making our money work for San Diego. We do this while maintaining a focus on three key principles: safeguarding the principal of the invested funds, meeting the liquidity needs of our pool participants and achieving an investment return within the parameters of prudent risk management. These results reflect our dedication to strong financial stewardship and responsible investment practices,” Cohen said.
