Cash Management
Overview
Cash is usually the least volatile type of investment. Cash tends to be included in a portfolio to meet liquidity needs and for its defensive characteristics.
Cash investments include cash accounts, high-interest savings accounts and term deposits. In these accounts interest is calculated on the daily closing balance of the account and paid monthly (in the case of cash and high-interest savings accounts) and monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or at the end of the term in the case of term deposits. The interest can also be reinvested in the account to compound returns.
However, cash investments generally aren’t suitable for long-term investment goals because the returns are likely to be low and may not meet your long-term financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement.
The Australian Government guarantees cash deposits of up to $250,000 in Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) such as banks, credit unions and building societies. This means up to $250,000 of your money is guaranteed if anything happens to your ADI.
NAB is an ADI and as such retail cash deposits up to $250,000 are guaranteed by the Australian Government.

Benefits
- Liquidity - 'at call' cash deposits are the ultimate liquid asset. That is, liquidity is a measure of how easily and quickly an asset can be converted to cash. Cash is already cash!
- Very low capital risk - cash as an asset poses no capital risk beyond inflation risk (defined in the Risks section below).
- Guaranteed – in Australia retail client cash deposits of up to $250,000 in Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) such as banks like nab, are guaranteed by the Australian Government.
- Emotional comfort - holding cash, particularly in times of falling property, stock or other markets, can give the investor a greater peace of mind.
- Optionally of cash - the famous investor, Warren Buffet, has said of cash "... think of cash as a call option with no expiration date, an option on every asset class, with no strike price.”
Risks
- Inflation risk - any economy that has inflation means that cash, over time, loses its purchasing power. This effectively means that a dollar in the future is worth less than a dollar today.
- Low returns - holding a portfolio of only cash is usually not a viable option for long term wealth generation.
