About This Webinar

Cash is often treated as a passive holding rather than a strategic asset class, leading to unintended consequences of declining yields in the current interest rate environment.

In this webinar, Jerome Schneider explains why “not all cash is created equal,” highlighting the limitations of money market funds as rates fall and inflation persists. The discussion emphasizes the benefits of active cash management, tiered liquidity strategies, and modest duration exposure to improve total returns while preserving liquidity. Jerome also outlines how ultra-short and short-term strategies can help mitigate reinvestment and inflation risk while capturing liquidity premiums.

During this webinar, advisors will learn how to:
- View cash as a strategic asset class rather than a passive allocation
- Lead client conversations about cash needs to align portfolio cash allocations
- Assess the impact of inflation and reinvestment risk on cash and short-term investments
- Apply the concept of tiered liquidity to improve portfolio outcomes
- Leverage active management to enhance returns within short-term fixed income
