Gain practical insights to manage money market and liquidity funds

As politics continue to be an area of heightened uncertainty and with expected rate cuts upon us, what can a treasurer expect from money market funds (MMFs) and other liquidity funds?

In this ACT webinar with Fitch Ratings, we will explore political and geopolitical risk implications for MMFs and cash investments, expectations regarding the monetary policy-easing cycle, what it means for money market fund yields and what treasurers can do.

You will explore:
  • the uncertainty surrounding politics, highlighted by the string of major elections in large economies in 2024 and the global economic relevance of the upcoming US election
  • the expected pace of rate cuts and their impact on money market funds and other cash investments as the expected pivot to global monetary policy easing unfolds
  • how different liquidity funds react to risks and rate changes, based on their varied security, liquidity, and yield characteristics, and how they can be compared and contrasted within a treasurer's liquidity cash portfolio.
