Wyoming has just recorded its best year on record for total returns on state investments. Fiscal year 2013 ended June 30 and returns for the year from interest income and capital gains on state investments totaled more than $936 million. The next-best year on record was 2008, when returns totaled $723 million. Returns for 2013 were up by $310 million over returns in fiscal year 2012. Wyoming invests in treasuries, real estate and equities but stock increases drove most of the state's investment gains. State officials say the gains will put an extra $100 million into the state general fund that will help to offset state budget cuts.
