There is a new norm emerging in the investment market for cash surpluses. Prior to the economic crisis in 2008, short term operating and reserve cash did not require significant amounts of attention. Now with current accounts earning little or nothing and the threat of potential charges looming, it is time for companies to review their investment criteria and investment strategies for short-term cash surpluses. 

Co-developed with Deutsche Bank’s Global Head of Structured Liquidity Products, Lisa Rossi, this ‘Identifying & Investing Cash Surpluses’ checklist takes the corporate treasury department through the key questions to be answered, the issues to be considered and the main actions required to manage the identification and investment of cash surpluses.
