18 FINANCIAL REPORT 2015 ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER IRREVOCABLE REVOLVING FUND TRUST The Archdiocese of Denver Irrevocable Revolving Fund Trust allows parishes and other related entities within the territory of the archdiocese to obtain competitive terms for depositing, withdrawing and borrowing money. The trust currently loans money at the Wall Street Journal prime rate, which was 3.25 percent at June 30, 2015 and 2014, and does not charge any fees for loan origination costs. The spread between the lending rate and the rate paid to depositors was 2.75 percent for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Accordingly, the trust currently has and continues to pay a very competitive rate of .50 percent to depositors on their savings accounts held in the trust during the fiscal years 2015 and 2014. Such deposits have no restrictions as to terms, require no minimum balances or do not change early-withdrawal penalties. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the trust realized a net income of $352,265, as compared to the previous year which reflected a net income of $686,920. The decrease of approximately 0.50% in net income in fiscal 2015 is primarily aributed to an increase in the unrealized losses from the investment portfolio. Unrealized gains and losses are a reflection of the market value of the investments at a particular point in time, but not necessarily an indication of the actual gains or losses that will ultimately be realized when the investment either matures or is sold. The trust continues to invest in low-risk, conservative short-term fixed-income funds. The trust has no exposure to equity stock holdings. The trust's conservative investment strategy does not mean it is immune to market volatility, which can cause losses in a rising interest rate environment. The Management Corporation's Offices of the Controller and Parish Finance provided significant assistance to the Revolving Fund Trust management commiee. In doing so, the trust approved four new loans to parishes totaling $543,000 in fiscal 2015 as compared to five new loans totaling $4.6 million in fiscal 2014.
