Detailed description The Federal Farm Credit Banks are a government-sponsored enterprise system providing credit and other financial services to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural cooperatives.

This financial analysis focuses on a specific bond issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks, identified by ISIN US3133EMS521 and CUSIP 3133EMS52. As a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the United States, the Federal Farm Credit Banks comprise a nationwide network of borrower-owned financial institutions that provide credit and related services to farmers, ranchers, agricultural cooperatives, rural utilities, and other borrowers in rural America. Their mission is to support a stable and reliable source of credit for agriculture and rural infrastructure, and their debt obligations, while not direct obligations of the U.S. government, are implicitly backed by the government due to their vital public purpose, contributing to their high credit standing. This particular bond, denominated in USD, matured on July 15, 2024, and has been fully redeemed at its par value of 100%. Issued with a total size of $150,000,000, it featured a minimum purchase size of $1,000. Noteworthy for its structure, the bond carried a stated interest rate of 0%, indicating it was likely a zero-coupon instrument issued at a discount to its face value, with investors' return derived from the difference between the purchase price and the par redemption value. Its payment frequency was noted as semi-annual, though relevant primarily for the maturity schedule given its zero-coupon nature. The bond's credit quality was affirmed by leading rating agencies, with Standard & Poor's assigning an AA+ rating and Moody's an Aaa rating, reflecting the issuer's exceptional financial strength and stability, underpinned by its GSE status. The successful redemption of this bond underscores the Federal Farm Credit Banks' reliability as an issuer in the fixed-income market.
