Carret’s Enhanced Cash Strategy seeks to provide excess returns above those offered by cash equivalents, while focusing on capital preservation and liquidity. The strategy manages an efficient risk/return portfolio utilizing high quality investment grade ultra-short duration Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasury Bonds, and U.S. Government Agency Bonds. Interest rate trends are forecasted as part of our process. We combine key economic inputs with credit research to determine the appropriate duration, quality, and structure of each portfolio. Enhanced Cash portfolios are managed to meet individual client objectives, considering residency, federal and state income tax requirements, liquidity needs, and other unique client parameters.
