Firstly, what are short-dated US treasury bonds?
Short-dated US Treasury bonds are also known as Treasury bills (T-bills). They're debt securities issued by the US government with a maturity of one year or less, making them highly liquid.
How is the USD Cash Yield different from fixed deposits?
Many fixed deposit accounts require a 6–12 month lock-in period and minimum deposit amounts. On top of that, fixed deposit accounts may have a cap on the balance that can earn returns, as well as other investment, insurance, or salary requirements.
With our US Treasury portfolio, there are no lock-ins, no minimum or maximum deposit amounts, and no other requirements to earn the full rate. And it’s free until 30 June 2023.
Who is the USD Cash Yield good for?
Everyone. Since US Treasury bonds are ultra-low risk and liquid, it’s a great way to manage your cash.
Cash management should be part of any financial plan, no matter your net worth and risk tolerance. An ultra-low-risk, rate-earning cash management portfolio protects your money from losing too much of its value to inflation. It also protects your money from any sudden market dips just as you might need to withdraw it.
You can use our USD Cash Yield to prepare for your short-term goals, such as:
- Getting ready to make a downpayment on a property
- Saving up for that year-end holiday
- Using it to dollar-cost average into a long-term investment portfolio
For financial goals with longer time horizons, consider investing in one of our General Investing portfolios instead.
How risky are US Treasury bonds?
US Treasury bonds are backed by the US government, making them virtually one of the safest investments around. The US government has a long history of meeting its debt obligations since it can pay off its debts by raising taxes or printing more money. So, Treasury bonds carry virtually no credit risk.
