Liquid capital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liquid capital or fluid capital is the part of a firm's assets that it holds as money.[1] It includes cash balances, bank deposits, and money market investments. Since these assets provide little or no income to the firm in a low interest rate environment, it will ordinarily seek to invest them in activities that offer a higher return on investment, apply them to outstanding debts, or distribute them to the firm's owners.[1]
