Manulife Stable Fund: A liquid and stable cash parking solution

The current economic environment is marked by sustained higher yields, potential rate cuts, and ongoing market volatility. Rather than holding onto cash while waiting for investment opportunities, investors might consider cash management solutions.

Why consider Manulife Stable Fund?

The Fund can serve as a good alternative to sitting on cash while providing the opportunities to earn the USD money market rate. It also tends to have relatively lower risk with primary considerations of maintaining asset value against the volatility.


Why now? Making the most out of your cash

  • Yield on USD money market securities, which have historically followed closely the Fed Funds rate, are expected to remain attractive.
  • Viable cash-parking alternative for investors who are patiently waiting for better entry points into the equity and credit markets.
  • Defensive solution amidst persistent volatility in both the rates and credit markets.

Higher for longer interest rates expected to persist
