City Deposit Cash Managers
City Deposit Cash Managers was established in 1988 specifically to assist public sector clients enhance the returns available from their ever-increasing cash balances.
The scheme has been refined to include Building Societies, Corporate Companies and Universities and currently manages £650 million on behalf of 33 clients. Each Fund is individually managed, with security of capital paramount and with the flexibility to adapt to individual requirements.
It is not cash-flow fund management; by taking strategic decisions as interest rates move in ever more volatile conditions, returns can be enhanced. The manager’s philosophy is that “it is the view that counts” and not necessarily the instruments used which is the key to performance. This pro-active style, particularly in the last few years, has achieved very positive results which, we understand, has made us one of the top performing managers in five of the last seven years.
