Investing Corporate Cash

Investing your company’s operating cash can make a bottom-line difference. An investment policy that takes into account your risk tolerance coupled with sound cash management can help generate income from cash reserves. In a study conducted by Treasury market think-tank Treasury Strategies, only 32% of companies surveyed had an investment policy. Moreover, businesses that forecasted cash out at least 30 days saw an average 30-basis-point yield improvement on investments with maturities of three months over those who forecasted out one week or less. (While forecasting cannot guarantee future performance or success, it can be important in cash management.)
