How can I make best use of my cash and liquid asset holdings?
Managing cash is a universal need. We seek to enhance cash returns while preserving capital and maintaining robust liquidity. Our cash management solutions and liquidity optimisation products are designed to meet unique investor needs.
Treasury: cash management solutions
Treasury departments face the challenge of both managing material cash and potential variability in cash balances. We can help treasurers develop cash management solutions to accommodate both expected and unexpected cash flows.
Insurance: liquidity optimisation for capital and efficiency yield
Insurers can face volatile cash-flow needs. We can help develop asset pools sized to accommodate severe but plausible shocks and diversified for resilience. Our insurance heritage helps us optimise liquidity in capital sensitive formats.
Pensions: collateral and cash-flow management
Variation margin requirements can move substantially and quickly, while beneficiary payments mean ongoing cash outflows. We can source liquidity across asset classes and geographies to deliver resilient, yield-generative portfolios.
Financial institutions: cash management and client money
Our liquidity products can help financial institutions manage their treasury cash requirements. Our government money market fund invests only in high-quality liquid assets. For financial institutions managing client money, we provide Qualifying Money Market Funds.
The Aviva Investors difference
Our insurance heritage and sustainability ambition combined with years of experience of managing cash equip us with the necessary skills and experience to manage your liquidity successfully.

Key risks
For further information on the risks and risk profiles of our funds, please refer to the relevant KIID and Prospectus.
Money market risk
These strategies invest in money market instruments such as short term bank debt, the market prices/value of which can rise as well as fall on a daily basis. Their values are affected by changes in interest rates, inflation and any decline in creditworthiness of the issuer. This is not a guaranteed investment, an investment in a Money Market Fund is different from an investment in deposits and can fluctuate in price meaning you may not get back the original amount you invested. This investment does not rely on external support for guaranteeing liquidity or stabilising the NAV per unit or share. The risk of loss of the principal is to be borne by the investor.
Investment risk and currency risk
The value and income from an investment can go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.
