Time & Demand Deposits
A diverse range of Time and Demand Deposit programs are available through ICD Portal with numerous partner institutions.
Why You Should Consider Time and Demand Deposits
With ICD Portal’s pre-screened account providers, treasury teams can trade demand deposits directly on the platform and bypass the time-consuming process of negotiating rates with various banks. In addition, ICD Portal provides access to a broad range of competitive time deposit programs through our partner 360T, as well as through the broader Tradeweb organization and other select banking institutions.
For Time Deposits, ICD Portal’s single-sign-on (SSO) integration with 360T, our broader Tradeweb offerings, and other select financial institutions means that treasury groups have access to a global range of time deposit products of varying durations and yield. Overall, time deposits are an attractive option to position cash in high-yield accounts, especially in situations where liquidity is less of a priority. Most time deposits have durations that range from several months to one year.
Demand Deposit programs are an attractive alternative to other cash equivalents because of their liquidity, diversification, and competitive rates. Investors can make deposits and withdrawals as frequently as they wish, with no limitations or transaction fees. All balances managed through the program are in bank deposit accounts that offer daily liquidity with settlement provided on a T+1 basis. By depositing into these programs, ICD Portal clients make separate cash deposits across a network of participating banks, spreading their funds on a weighted basis. Programs range in capacity limits and yield.
Time Deposit Investment Profile
Captial Preservation
Capital Preservation is good, but like Overnight Deposits there is some principal risk due to the single-credit nature of the exposure
Liquidity
Liquidity is limited due to the fixed term. Penalties/fees may be incurred for early withdrawals
Yield
Yield is moderate to high, depending on term
Demand Deposit Investment Profile
Captial Preservation
Capital Preservation is high as there is no NAV movement. However, each program carries varying credit risk depending on A1/P1, split or if it carries FDIC Insurance
Liquidity
Liquidity (T+1) is high, with no term commitments or penalties for withdrawal
Yield
Yield varies depending on the program, but can be competitive with money market funds, time deposits, FICA and other similar investment types
