Using a Cash ETF vs Term Deposit for Investing

When deciding between using a cash ETF or a term deposit for investing, there are a few factors to consider. While term deposits can offer higher returns and security, cash ETFs provide more liquidity and flexibility. Cash ETFs can be bought and sold quickly, while term deposits have a set maturity period. Additionally, cash ETFs do not require setting up a separate account with a bank and can be purchased through a brokerage account. It's important to consider the specific needs and goals of an individual before making a decision.
