🚨 HIBOR has hit a two-year low, putting further pressure on cash holdings. Constantly comparing cash yields can ultimately be time-consuming and counterproductive.🤔 Whether your goal is to earn interest or to park funds temporarily before making a move, consider looking into money market funds.
💰 Money market funds typically invest in highly liquid instruments such as time deposits⏲️, certificates of deposit, short-term government bonds, and short-term corporate bonds📜. They aim to achieve yields higher than cash while reducing risks related to market and interest rate fluctuations.
