HSBC launches automated cash investment tool
HSBC has launched a new tool to enable corporate and institutional clients to automate the allocation and investment of excess cash.
The bank’s Liquidity Investment Solutions offering will automatically execute investments and redemptions with nominated money market funds of HSBC Global Asset Management Group, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and/or J.P. Morgan Asset Management, based on a clients defined investment policy, risk profile and liquidity parameters.
According to HSBC, the automated nature of the service allows users to utilise their surplus cash while maintaining daily liquidity, freeing treasurers from the daily process of cash prediction and investment to focus on adjusting their investment strategies as the market environment changes.
Tom Schickler, HSBC’s global head of products, liquidity and cash management, says: “Cash holdings are at an all-time high. At the same time the complexity and associated cost of compliance continues to increase. LIS offers clients a tool that dynamically rebalances cash holdings between transactional cash and their investment portfolio while satisfying their security, liquidity, yield, reporting and compliance requirements.”
