Overview:
Historically, only large investors could access short-dated fixed-income investments, leaving others with low-yield bank accounts. The 1970s introduced money market funds, and in 2018, TreasurySpring launched the Fixed-Term Fund (FTF), a regulated platform offering assets like UK Government debt to a broader audience. By September 2023, the FTF market had grown to over $50 billion across more than 1,000 products. FTFs provide unique, individualised exposure to specific assets, reducing correlation risk. Today, a range of investors, from global corporations to startups, use FTFs for better returns, while issuers benefit from increased liquidity.
