How much cash should I keep in my portfolio

[JBmurc]

Hi Eeverybody

I thought to find out how much people are keeping cash in their portfolio and where they holding cash. I heard fund managers are still holding higher than usual-cash-stakes and plenty of fund managers are continue to play defense.

I have also heard we should keep some cash for emergency expenses.

We all have differences such as age, portfolio and trading or investment styles.

In my case, I'm couple of years away from retirement. Curently, my Kiwi-saver is in 100% cash fund.

Thank you in advance for your valuable thoughts.

I've been terrible at keeping cash on the sidelines ... I'm the burn the hole in the pocket kind of guy ..can't stand not being 100% invested ... of course sometimes that investment will be in a Market Short ETF .

These days I am experimenting some different things that I never did. Today, I shorted some tech stocks using an ETF listed in Au.
