The ACT/JPMorgan Asset Management Global Cash Management Survey provides an ongoing benchmark in liquidity management trends. Over the past nine years the Survey has provided valuable insights into how the industry is developing and given treasurers and other cash investors an understanding of their market position in relation to their peers.
Key findings from the 2007 survey include:
An increase in number of banking relationships
No major change in the structure of cash management
Bank deposits remain most common instrument for surplus cash
Money market funds are the most used pooled investments
Yield is most important factor when selecting a pooled fund provider

Commenting on the survey findings Richard Raeburn, Chief Executive of the ACT said, “At a time of volatility in financial markets it is particularly interesting that the survey’s results confirm a move towards more rather than fewer bank relationships but an increasing emphasis on the quality of those relationships; this focus lies at the heart of good treasury management through good times and bad.”
Whether you are a new participant or someone who has regularly taken part in the Survey, we value your responses which help make the Survey a truly global barometer of the evolving dynamics within global cash management.
