SHORT-TERM TREASURY SECURITIES

The desire for safe investments has been so strong that the yield on short term treasury securities have been increasingly lower. Yet the short term securities are being eaten up by investors, being paid (at times) less than 1% on short term investments, and happy to do so. While this may be a great solution for storage of assets for short term gains, the yields are too low… Longer term investors are better set to avoid Treasury bonds.

Short-Term Treasury Bond and Short-Term Treasury Securities are the safest place for your money right now, but it’s not a secret.

It is the safety in these Treasury bonds and securities that are keeping investors buying and keeping the Treasury yields so low. Yet for many investors trying to recoup some of their lost assets these short term securities can be a great solution, but it is advised against purchasing long term Treasury securities, as the yield is expected to increase over the next several months.
