Treasurers

Many treasury teams are often under-resourced for the size of the task at hand. Tracking the whole of the market is time-consuming and typically we find that for this reason, many treasuries operate from a restricted dataset. This results in large cash balances earning sub-optimal returns for set parameters. Cascade provides a turning point for treasury teams. The time constraints and complexity are managed by Cascade, which serves as an extension to your operations providing greater efficiency. Our experts are on hand to tailor our bespoke technology to your needs and requirements, filtering our dataset to your preferred dataset on your preferred liquidity parameters.

The FCA has recently released in-depth consultation papers that outline the need for greater transparency, enhanced disclosure and technological investment in the cash market. Cascade allows treasures to manage large cash sums in a transparent, independent, whole-of-market and unbiased manner that structures protection and liquidity to deliver enhanced returns.

Many treasury teams lack the time to be able to comprehensively search the UK market for all sterling rates to check for both availability and eligibility. Our team of experts tracks all rates and the unique idiosyncrasies of each account and provider on a daily basis. This unique, independent, and whole-of-market dataset makes accessing the best accounts in a time efficient and streamlined process.

Deciding to implement greater protection for your cash holdings by spreading it across different banking licenses is a prudent and sensible decision. However, to then endure the divergence of the account opening of multiple accounts is a tricky and time-consuming process. Cascade works closely with each provider to streamline this process for you. Cascade’s ongoing monitoring then keeps administration requirements light for treasury teams.

High volatility has become a consistent feature of recent markets. Where markets are uncertain, many treasuries have moved out of cash-like assets to sit in pure cash. Cascade supports this by tracking cash-only sterling rates.

A historically low base rate married to the begrudging acceptance of minimal rates by most savers has driven the current cash rates to amongst the lowest on record. The reduction in cash rates in the post-credit crunch environment has particularly hit savers hard. Generating a return through staying on top of the best live rates is time consuming, inefficient and inconvenient when done on an individual basis. To maximise returns, a cost-efficient, convenient and effective service is required. Cascade provides exactly that through offering a professional and genuinely bespoke solution for your needs.
