Survey Shows Rising Use of Bank Deposit Accounts, Government MMFs, and CDs
With interest rates rising, certain investment vehicles are seeing more uptick than others.
[Atlanta, GA] February 13, 2024 — Strategic Treasurer and Allspring Global Investments recently released the Liquidity Risk Survey Results Report. This survey’s questions probed 160 treasury and finance professionals on key aspects of their liquidity risk management. Details were gathered about the respondents’ views, practices, drivers, challenges, and plans surrounding liquidity risk.
As the eleventh iteration of this survey, the research has extensive longitudinal data and reveals decade-long trends.
Highlights of the results include the following:
- Monitoring of counterparty exposures for bank deposits and CDs has gradually but consistently trended down from 60% in 2013 to 52% in 2023.
- Bank deposit accounts (DDA, sweep, MMDA) were the most-used short-term domestic investment vehicles at 73%, and 52% of those that used them had started using them in the last twelve months. Government MMFs and CDs came in second and third.
The full results report is available for download on Strategic Treasurer’s website, alongside a webinar replay with Strategic Treasurer and Allspring discussing the implications of the data.
