Developing a Cash Management Strategy

Cash management is a fundamental part of many investment strategies. In layman's terms, it means putting cash to work.

The overall purpose of keeping cash in a portfolio is typically to maintain access while securing a conservative yield rate that beats a standard savings account at a bank. What that means specifically depends on the person's goals.

Understanding Cash Management Strategies

Cash management strategies are varied. People choose between them based on various factors:

• Expected need for immediate liquidity
• Overall risk tolerance
• Portfolio performance expectations

Over the longer term, periods of growth often suggest different cash strategies than periods of stability. However, it all depends on a person's financial goals.

Using Cash Management Tools

People hold cash via various types of accounts or instruments. The following are typical examples:

• Fully liquid money-market accounts
• Treasury bills (Federal short-term securities)
• Short-term certificates of deposit

CDs are available through most banks. There are also secondary markets in which brokers trade CDs and T-bills on behalf of investors.
