StoneCastle’s Federally Insured Cash Account Powers New State Investment Vehicle

State launches program to support local communities through StoneCastle’s Federally Insured Cash Account


WEBWIRE

New York, New York – The Federally Insured Cash Account (FICA®), a leading cash management product developed by StoneCastle Cash Management, LLC was chosen to power STAR Plus, a new investment program for municipalities in the state of Ohio.  Josh Mandel, the Treasurer of the State of Ohio, recently announced that Ohio would become the first state in the nation to offer an innovative new program that will provide safe and competitive returns on cash deposits for Ohio local governments and aims to help keep Ohio public funds in Ohio banks.  

The new program is designed to help the State of Ohio’s cities and towns potentially improve their return on cash reserves.  STAR Plus offers the safety and security of FDIC insurance while seeking to keep local taxpayer dollars in the community banks that fuel local economies and small business growth.

Joshua Siegel, Managing Principal of StoneCastle said,  “We are privileged to have our FICA platform power Star Plus and enable Ohio public entities to safely and securely potentially increase their return on cash reserves while supporting Ohio’s community banks. We are thrilled to work with the State of Ohio on their new program.”  

“This innovative idea is a win for local governments who are tightening their belts and stretching tax dollars, a win for community banks that fuel local economies, and a win for Ohio families because it will foster an opportunity for job creation across Ohio,” said Mandel.
