FD+ & Structured Debt
The same job a bank FD does, parking money safely, done with better instruments. Corporate deposits, high-grade bonds and short debt strategies. Accessible in days, not years.
A set of low-risk debt instruments: AAA and AA corporate FDs and bonds, target-maturity funds, and curated debt portfolios. Used as a stable anchor while the rest of the portfolio takes risk.
