Why is cash an asset during a Covid-19?
Historically, cash is affected by inflation but with lowering inflation and rising interest rates, cash is becoming a true asset class for any strategies and it is a good way to manage your risk. For SMEs, it is the safest route to generate safe returns (best in 2018 and still strong in 2017) and making sure that cash is available when and if required.
How can I maximise my cash management at this time?
UK financial services compensation scheme (FSCS) protects deposits up to £85,000 per account. With Akoni, it is possible to spread cash across multiple banks, in order to make the most of the allowance. Not only does this protect your cash but increases diversity across banks which is also a positive and to be recommended.
