Record 2 1999-02-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Banking
DEF

A financial institution's asset funds invested in short term convertible effects (treasury bonds, promissory notes, etc.). In addition to cash ratios, used to guarantee liquidity.

CONT

Even if the bank is not a declining business, prudent managers must still protect themselves against a temporary surge of withdrawals. ... They will usually decide, therefore, to hold in their portfolios as "secondary reserves" some "liquid" securities that always have a ready market and can be easily sold without much loss before maturity. Short-term government bonds serve this purpose admirably.
