NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- StoneCastle Cash Management, LLC, (d/b/a "StoneCastle") today announced that it has partnered with Mariner, a privately held national financial services firm, to offer Mariner's clients a high-yield, insured deposit solution for non-custodial cash. With high net worth, business, nonprofit and trust clients holding trillions of dollars in deposits on the sidelines sitting uninsured or grossly underperforming relative to the risk-free rate, the decision to provide clients with access to a better savings account is not only timely, but prudent.

Mariner's inclusion of StoneCastle's Federally Insured Cash Account (FICA) sends clients a strong message that prioritizing safety and liquidity in cash, while staying above headline risks, is paramount.

"We are thrilled to bring StoneCastle to our advisors as a solution for their clients' held-away/savings cash, which is a natural complement to our insured sweep platform," said Chad Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Practice Management at Mariner. "Cash should be a riskless asset class, and when you can offer high net worth, business, and even institutional clients, up to $100 million in federal deposit insurance with a competitive rate, it gives our clients access to more sophisticated and proven solutions."

StoneCastle's institutional cash expertise has become mainstream in the advisory space over the past several years. "Cash continues to be a foundational asset class in all wealth plans," said Dan Farrell, CEO of StoneCastle. "We are privileged to work with a partner like Mariner that is laser focused on giving all clients, regardless of portfolio size, access to solutions they can't obtain elsewhere."
