Guest dfeltens Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 If a small plan holds just cash no money market or goverment bond that is greater than 20% of Assets does it need to be reported on 4i? I can't find anything in any book about holding more than 20% in cash. The main point of this question is to assess prudence of investments practices so to reduce large losses. Yes you won't lose any money holding cash but you wont make any gains, so my thinking is that it se be reported because holding large amounts of cash is not very diversify. Any thoughts? Experiance?
WDIK Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I do not think that a cash account qualifies as a single security. ...but then again, What Do I Know?
Bird Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 It's probably true that cash is not a "security." I've probably reported it already though, since I just eyeball the assets and throw in the highest number (if it's greater than 20%), knowing (or at least thinking) that the answer is about as relevant as the color of my desk.

JanetM Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 The 4i question asked if any investment is more than 20%. Since you list CDs with same due date as one security, and cash has maturity date of today I would list it. Point of the question is to see if small plans are diversified. JanetM CPA, MBA
Bird Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I understand the point but have you (anyone) ever heard of them doing anything with this information? Ed Snyder
