FYI: Those looking to park cash for relatively short periods—say three to 18 months—can now choose from a number of options yielding more than 2%, while maintaining ready access to their money. Short-term U.S. Treasury bills, Treasury floating-rate notes, or FRNs, and short-term government money markets are worth considering, advisors say.
Treasuries are the safest investment out there, and both six-month and one-year bills yield better than 2.4%. Because of the current, relatively flat yield curve, short Treasuries make a lot of sense for both short- and longer-term investors. Consider that the 10-year, at 2.54%, yields only a little better than its shorter-term siblings. “You’re capturing [most] of the 10-year yield by only going out two years,” says Siegel.
