Higher yield than a money market account?

by an investor from New York University

Mar 03,2023

I have seven figures in cash that are currently in a money market account earning 4.55%. Since I just started looking for a business, I may not need this cash for a year or longer. I was wondering if there was safe, liquid way to invest it to beat my current 4.55% yield.

CDs are not a good option. Stocks fluctuate too much. Real estate is not liquid.

You can buy treasury bills from treasury direct. That’s your best yield options

Stick with the bank account - dont overcomplicate your life for a couple grand. Thats my take. I get the itch to switch banks every 6 months and I have to remind myself of this fact each time.
