Understanding the Rho Treasury dashboard
Navigate to the Treasury tab in Rho. Rho Treasury has two overview tiles at the top of the dashboard, and the rest is organized into two tabs, Activity and Portfolio.
Overview
Balance is the total market value of your portfolio as of the last market close, including cash, invested assets, and yield earned, net of fees. Pending transfers are not included.
Realized P&L includes interest earned on T-Bills at maturity or sale, mutual fund dividends paid, and proceeds from completed asset sales.
The portfolio section shows you the target allocation of your Treasury portfolio across the three asset classes.
Net yield is the weighted average yield across your portfolio:
Σ (target allocation % × current asset yield) - management fees
This is net of Rho's management fee and updates automatically as underlying yields change.
Activity
A chronological log of all activity including deposits, withdrawals, asset purchases/sales/maturities, fund dividends, cash interest, management fee charges, market value adjustments, and ACATs.
Market value adjustments are daily revaluations of your Treasury holdings to reflect current NAV. These are unrealized. No money moves until you sell.
Portfolio
Understanding your holdings
Treasury Bills (T-Bills)
T-Bills are short-term U.S. government debt securities backed by the U.S. Treasury. They are a stable, predictable way to earn yield on idle funds, with maximum principal stability and no NAV variability.
Rho exclusively purchases 13-week (90-day) T-Bills in $1,000 increments. If your proportional T-Bill allocation falls below $1,000 for a given deposit, that portion is held as cash and invested at the next deposit or rebalance.
You can evaluate your holdings details by reviewing the following information in the Portfolio tab.
Field | What it means |
Yield | Based on the difference between purchase price and face value, and the holding period |
Shares | Quantity of T-Bills held |
Market value | Market value = shares x current price |
Purchase price | Average discounted price paid per bill |
Current price | Yesterday's market price per share |
Current allocation | Shows your actual allocation and drift from your target |
Maturity date | The date the T-Bill term ends and face value is paid |
T-Bills are purchased at a discount and redeemed at face value at maturity. For example, a T-Bill purchased for $989.96 matures at $1,000.00, the $10.04 difference is your return.
At maturity, T-Bill face value is credited as cash and automatically reinvested per your target allocation. If sold before maturity, the T-Bill is sold at current market price which may result in receiving less than your purchase price.
Note: T-Bill interest is subject to federal income tax but exempt from state and local income taxes.
Mutual Funds
Morgan Stanley Ultra-Short Income Fund (MULSX)
MULSX invests in high-quality, short-duration money market instruments including commercial paper, corporate debt, and asset-backed securities. NAV is variable but designed to remain highly stable.
VFSTX (Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund)
VFSTX is a short-term bond fund investing primarily in investment-grade corporate bonds, with additional exposure to government and securitized debt. NAV fluctuates with changes in interest rates.
Dividends accrue daily and are paid monthly at the start of each calendar month. Dividends appear as realized P&L in your Treasury overview and are reinvested per your target allocation.
You can evaluate your holding details by reviewing the following information in the Portfolio tab.
Field | What it means |
Yield | Morgan Stanley (MULSX): 7-Day Yield Vanguard (VFSTX): 30-Day SEC Yield |
Shares | Quantity of fund shares held |
Market value | Market value = shares x current price |
Purchase price | Average NAV at time of purchase |
Current price | Yesterday's NAV per share |
Current allocation | Shows your actual allocation and drift from your target |
Distribution date | Dividend distribution date |
Cash
Cash in your Treasury portfolio represents proceeds awaiting reinvestment and T-Bill purchase rounding differences. Cash earns a small interest. When enough cash has accumulated to fund a purchase based on your portfolio allocation, it is automatically reinvested across your target assets. Cash interest is paid monthly.
Funding your portfolio
New funds are invested proportionally based on your target allocation. Investments take 1-2 business days to settle.
All T-Bill maturities, mutual fund dividends, and cash interest are reinvested per your target allocation.
[Beta] Portfolio allocation
You control how your cash is split across assets. Allocations are percentage-based, set in 5% increments, and must total 100%. Three preset strategies are available as starting points, or you can build a custom allocation:
Strategy | Holding period | Allocation | Best for |
Capital preservation | 3 months | 100% Treasury Bills | Cash you may need in 3 months. Maximum principal stability, no NAV variability. |
Balanced income | 4-12 months | 40% Treasury Bills60% MULSX | Cash you won’t need for at least 4 months. Adds modest yield on top of a T-Bill foundation. |
Optimized yield | 12+ months | 15% Treasury Bills60% MULSX25% VFSTX | Cash you won’t need for at least 12 months. Highest yield potential. |
Custom | Your choice! | ||
Editing your portfolio
Navigate to Treasury → Edit Portfolio
Review your current allocation and compare asset options
Adjust allocation percentages in 5% increments (must total 100%)
Review your updated blended net yield
Review & confirm
Rho rebalances by selling from over-allocated assets and buying into under-allocated ones. Typically takes 2–4 business days to complete. You cannot make changes while a rebalance is in progress. Your funds remain invested during this time.
How rebalancing works
Rho does not run rebalancing on a fixed schedule. Your portfolio stays on target through:
New money in – every deposit, maturity, dividend, and interest payment is allocated based on your target allocation.
Allocation changes – editing your target triggers an immediate rebalance.
Withdrawing from your portfolio
Assets are sold proportionally based on your current portfolio allocation. For example, if your portfolio is 40% T-Bills / 60% MULSX, a $5,000 withdrawal would sell $2,000 of T-Bills and $3,000 of MULSX. You cannot select which asset is sold.
Funds typically settle in 1-2 business days, depending on your portfolio. Rho initiates a security sale and awaits settlement. Once funds are available in Apex, Rho wires funds to your account.

Statements, Trade Confirmations, and more
Monthly statements are generated by Apex, our custodian partner. Statements are posted within 7 business days of the start of each month and can be accessed in your Rho dashboard under Settings → Account Statements → Treasury Account.
Monthly statements are generated for accounts with deposits, withdrawals, or trades in that month. Accounts without qualifying activity receive a combined quarterly statement instead.

Management fees
Rho Treasury charges an annualized management fee of 0.15%-0.60%, billed monthly based on total AUM across all Rho banking accounts.
Total AUM | Annual fee |
$20M+ | 0.15% (15 bps) |
$10M–$20M | 0.25% (25 bps) |
$5M–$10M | 0.35% (35 bps) |
$2M–$5M | 0.45% (45 bps) |
Under $2M | 0.60% (60 bps) |
Fees are calculated daily and charged monthly from your portfolio cash balance. If insufficient cash is available, Rho automatically sells a small amount of holdings.
The blended yield shown on your dashboard is already net of fees.
