Published: Nov 2026

Press release news paper

CashInvest by Morgan Stanley is an institutional cash management platform used by treasurers and cash managers to consolidate global cash investing through a single online trading interface. The partnership gives CashInvest clients access to Jiko’s T-bill offering as a new option alongside the platform’s existing multi-currency money market and ultra-short-duration bond fund lineup. Jiko’s offering is designed to provide direct ownership of T-bills, held in the client’s name, without the manual work that investing in T-bills has traditionally required.

“Every economic cycle tests how treasurers and institutional investors think about cash, and this one is no different,” said Stephane Lintner, Jiko CEO and Co-Founder. “Professionals using CashInvest often seek to balance safety, liquidity, and yield. Integrating Jiko’s solution into CashInvest gives them expanded options that may address their unique needs.”

Direct T-bill ownership has historically required treasury teams to select maturities, manage laddering, and handle reinvestment manually. Jiko’s technology, operating through its FINRA-registered broker-dealer, automates all T-bill trading, including reinvestment at maturity, so cash stays fully invested and potentially earns the “risk-free” rate often associated with T-bills, with the ability to make third-party payments built in.

“CashInvest is designed to provide institutional clients with a thorough, centralized interface for cash investment options,” said Rick Wilkinson, Head of Global Liquidity Platform Development, Morgan Stanley Investment Management. “Making Jiko accessible through CashInvest reflects our continued focus on expanding client choice.”

The addition reflects a broader shift among institutional cash managers. According to Jiko’s 2026 Corporate Cash Confidence Survey, nearly half of treasurers report over 10% of corporate cash sits uninvested at any given time, and almost one in four report idle balances exceeding 25%. Jiko provides a transparent and structurally safe complement to pooled fund structures that generate a competitive yield on cash while keeping it available for payments.

Eligible CashInvest by Morgan Stanley clients can access Jiko now. Clients who elect to use the offering will onboard directly with Jiko and become Jiko clients for the offering, subject to Jiko’s eligibility, documentation, disclosures, and terms.
