Morgan Global Liquidity believes in creating long-term, strategic relationships with clients by providing consultation, expertise and high-quality investment solutions.

J.P. Morgan Global Liquidity offers a broad range of solutions for the investment of short-term euro cash balances to meet a variety of risk and return objectives. These include:
Liquidity Funds
- Short-term MMFs – Our CNAV or LVNAV short-term MMFs take a conservative approach to managing high quality government and corporate credit, with a focus on capital preservation and liquidity. They offer investors a risk management tool for their operating cash balances and an investment horizon of 1 day+.
- Standard MMFs – Our standard VNAV MMFs take a conservative approach to managing high quality corporate credit, with a focus on capital preservation and liquidity and offer investors a solution that seeks to generate around 15-30 basis points of additional returns versus short-term money market funds or equally versus the 3-month Treasury Bill benchmark. The incremental risk/return profile sets the funds one step up from the short-term MMFs landscape, but takes less credit and duration risk than the ultra-short duration space.
Ultra-Short Duration Funds
- Managed Reserves – Our ultra-short duration strategy diversifies risk across high quality, investment grade fixed and floating securities. The strategy seeks to achieve incremental returns of between 20-60 basis points versus short-term MMFs or equally versus the 3-month Treasury Bill benchmark. The strategy is designed for reserve cash assets that have an investment horizon of six-months+ and is available as a fund, ETF or as a fully customised separately managed account. Our separately managed accounts allow investors to define their own parameters for security, returns and liquidity based upon their risk tolerance and cash flow needs.
