Tiered Allocation Framework

Effective management of large deposits requires a multi-layered approach. Start by calculating your total exposure and comparing it against the CDIC Insurance Limits to identify unprotected capital.

Distribute funds across different legal entities or account categories. This tactical split ensures that even in extreme market volatility, the majority of your principal remains under federal protection schemes.

Managing Broker Deposit Risks

Deposits placed through third-party brokers often carry different risk profiles than direct deposits. It is critical to monitor the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of the receiving bank to ensure they can meet short-term withdrawal demands.

  2. Audit the underlying bank's credit rating via ratings analysis.
  3. Review the settlement timelines for large-scale liquidations.
