Cash

By cash we mean the holding of liquid money at short to medium term rates. The following are some examples of cash investments:

• Cash management accounts
• Term deposits
• Registered mortgages
• Government bonds
• Promissory notes
• Bills of exchange
• Annuities (Swiss annuities)

Cash investments are considered low risk (unless of course your funds are deposited with the ‘Bank of Whoop Whoop’) – highly liquid and normally have low to medium income returns with a zero growth element.

This type of investment is ideal for accumulating low risk reserves and can be used as a buffer against more aggressive investment strategies.
