Federal Reserve Bank of Phila.
Digest from March Business Review
'Wanaging the Corporate
Money Position'

Production is the primary source
Of income for business corporations
bat many companies are making
quite a bit of money on their
short-term investments. according
to an article, Managing the Cor
porate Money Position" in Z the
March issue of the monthly BuSi-
ness Review of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Philadelphia. The
article is based largely on infor-
alton obtained in interviews with
corporate officials.
Cash control is a prerequisite for
an effective program of short-term
investments. according to the Re
view. Cash budgeting projecting
the company's cash inflow and out
flOw-gives officials a better idea
of the minimum balance needed
for current operations. All cash in
excess of this minimum is put into
high-grade, short-term investments.
Income from the investment port
folio is often substantial-milli
of dollars for some large corpora
tions. the article points out. Cor
porate policies in managing short
term investments vary widely a
mong companies, according to the
Review. reflecting such things as
size, volatility of the cash flow.
and attitude of management. Short
term Government securities are by
far the most popular form of in
vestment. but many companies go
Milford chronicle., 1961-03-24

into other types such as Govern
ment agency issues, state and mum
icipal securities, commercial paper,
finance company paper. and repur-
chase agreements. Corporate port
folios are heavily concentrated
in short maturities because of liq-
uidity reeds.
Bank balances of corporations
have increased substantially dur
ing the postwar period. according
to the Review article. The article
points out that corporate purchases
of securities do not reduce total
bank deposits; instead. they trans
Ter deposits from buyer to seller
and sometimes from bank to bank.
According to the article, There
is little evidence to support the
common assumption that increases
in market rates attract idle cor
porate cash in substantial volume. !"
Most corporations invest all cash
in excess of operating needs re-
gardless of the level of market
rates. The development of C h
saving techniques, however, h a S
enabled corporations to handle a
larger volume of business with the
same amount of cash. These cash
saving techniques. the article
points out. tend toward a gradual
rise in the velocity of circulation
of money; however, corporate in
vestment policies are not a signi-
ficant influence in cyclical fluctu-
ations in velocity.
