Cash Management: Products and
Strategies
Frank J. Fabozzi
Copyright: 2000
Cash, as opposed to more
rewarding but riskier assets, such as stocks or bonds, is preferable for meeting large,
short-term liabilities that are well defined and predictable. Holding cash is also the
only sensible investment choice for meeting uncertain (contingent) liabilities that arise
in an emergency. The range of cash management alternatives is sufficiently wide and
complicated to warrant careful planning when deciding on which specific cash vehicles to
hold. The general principles of modern portfolio management can and should be applied to
professional cash management.
