Cash-based investments gain appeal as rates rise
While stock and bond holdings remain core, higher rates lift some cash vehicles. One year CDs at 2.25 percent APY and five-year CDs up to 2.85 percent offer liquidity with modest returns. Savings accounts marked up to 17 percent can exist if funds aren’t tied up. A balanced plan could include cash for safety and accessibility amid rate increases. Stocks historically return 9–10 percent long term, bonds 4–5 percent, but both carry risk. The takeaway: rising rates reduce the usual “bad” stigma of cash in portfolios.
