Overview

ICD Portal’s Short Duration Bond Funds offering provides treasury teams with access to short-duration fixed-income funds that sit slightly further out on the yield curve than cash and money-market instruments. These funds are presented within ICD’s investment portal alongside other short-term investment options, allowing clients to view holdings, counterparty exposures and analytics in a single treasury-focused workflow. The product is positioned for corporate treasuries seeking modestly higher yields while managing liquidity and credit exposure with visibility and compliance controls
