OptiDep

Most companies face sometimes a situation of a temporary excess of cash on their current accounts. Due to the fact that interest rates on current accounts are very low it is beneficial for the company to deposit such excessive cash into a term deposit until the time when the particular funds are used to pay for the company expenditures.

Most companies tend to make deposits with a very short maturity (even though the particular funds need not be used for payment at the maturity of such deposit). This can be explained by cautiousness as well as by insufficient time and capacity for regular generation of a term deposits plan (which is connected with the topic of analysis of expected future cash flows, analysis of interest rates structure and restrictions specified in internal directives) which results in a loss of interest income.

Due to the above reasons, Advanced Risk Management, s.r.o. developed an application called OptiDep. OptiDep can design a plan of new term deposits based on a plan of cash flows, balances on current accounts and existing term deposits with the aim to maximize interest income, but without impairing the liquidity of the company (e.g. it is possible to consider the requirement for a minimum balance on the current account). Based on the actual yield curve OptiDep determines an optimal deposit amount, the start date and proposed maturities.
