Managing The Risk-Return Of Excess Working Capital

Having cash in the bank from recent funding rounds is a great way to build a business, but managing those deposits requires some evaluation and ongoing attention. For the past several years, extremely low interest rates have helped keep the issue of returns off the radar. However, as planned Fed tightening pushes interest rates higher, the income received on those funds will become more material. In this 20-Minute Tales from the Frontlines of Finance, we’ll talk to Benjamin Verschuere, Co-founder and CIO at Treasure Financial, about investment alternatives. Ben worked for 10 years for the Peter Thiel family office and hedge fund (Clarium Capital) as a portfolio manager and macro-strategist helping deploy capital across the world. 

We’ll look at the forces that are impacting interest rates and how their movements may influence decision-making on duration and type of investment. We’ll review alternative investment vehicles including bank deposits, corporate bonds, bitcoin, and even a new alternative offered by Treasure Financial. We’ll discuss what a company investment policy should look like and how to determine the right risk-return for your company’s excess working capital. Join us and bring your questions.
