Introducing the new Liquid Reserves Portfolio
Take advantage of the high interest environment and open a flexible, low-risk & liquid portfolio, benefitting from a current gross yield of 5.2% p.a. for GBP portfolios
A low-risk investment offering for existing and new Netwealth clients
The Netwealth Liquid Reserves portfolio is comprised of low-risk money market funds and ultra-short term bonds. It can be invested via ISA or pension tax wrappers and funds can be moved at any time.
Money market funds offer cash-like returns by investing in a diversified pool of high quality and short term fixed income securities. As the underlying assets are issued by governments, banks and other companies with very strong balance sheets and high credit ratings, they offer very predictable returns, in line with interest rates. In this way, they aim to deliver a combination of capital preservation, diversification, liquidity and yield.
While we advocate for long-term investing and its benefits, this portfolio can be a good choice for investors looking to make the most of higher interest rates, or to steer away from market volatility. The portfolio has daily liquidity, if needed.
Please remember that when investing your capital is at risk. This offering is considered low-risk, however the value of your investment may still fluctuate over a specific period.
