60. Savings Accounts vs Cash Funds
As Kiwis, we’re savers at heart. Generally speaking, we tend to rely on savings accounts to grow your short-term money. But are there investment funds that might also be suitable for getting you to the same goals? *Cash Funds enter the room* The funds that Cat reckons are getting a glow-up in 2023. So what are these types of funds, why use them and how do they compare to savings accounts? We cover all this and more in this episode.
