About This Episode

Amid higher interest rates and consequently higher yields, investors have piled into cash. My guest today will explain why it’s time to make a move. His position is that cash should be an asset to provide for short-term (less than 12 months) liquidity needs. Beyond that, investors should consider an appropriately diversified portfolio to achieve their financial goals. While short-term performance may work in investors’ favor, he will argue that over the long term, the benefits of being invested outweigh the potential short-term benefits of sitting in cash.
