Investment Objective

​The Cash Portfolio is a low risk multi managed money market portfolio that aims to deliver returns in excess of STeFI consistently over time while ensuring capital preservation, stability and liquidity.
The specialist investment managers selected for this portfolio may only invest in money-market instruments and cash. Money-market instruments are liquid financial instruments that basically simulate cash, but often give a higher return. The managers are given specific mandates aimed at providing an investment return above the average of money-market portfolios, while maintaining a high degree of liquidity and capital preservation. They may only be exposed to high quality institutions.
