NeuGroup partnered with Jiko on the 2026 Corporate Cash Confidence Survey, an annual benchmark of how treasury and finance leaders are shaping cash strategy for the year ahead. Jiko conducted the survey and NeuGroup distributed it to our member network, adding the perspective of large, complex treasury organizations to the results.
What the report covers
Macro pressure: 63% are concerned geopolitical tensions could directly affect their cash strategy, and rates are the top factor shaping 2026 strategy
Safety first: access to cash (60%) and principal protection (46%) outrank maximizing yield (31%)
The idle cash tradeoff: nearly half report more than 10% of operating cash uninvested, and 23% report a quarter or more sitting idle
Infrastructure gap: 76% say 24/7 settlement matters, but only 19% can move cash in real time today
T-bill appetite: 89% see value in holding cash directly in U.S. Treasury bills while keeping immediate liquidity for payments
Who it’s for
Treasurers and finance leaders looking to benchmark cash priorities against peers and find where safety, liquidity, and productivity trade off.
