What is a good alternative to a HYS and/or a CD for short term 6-12 month horizon? Low risk similar to HYS/CD, atleast from a principal conservation view.

So called “cash equivalents” are typically for institutional investors moving very large sums. HYS is best option for individuals. CDs and savings bonds aren’t as liquid due to maturity timelines etc.

Compare them side by side, consider mgt fee, and project growth over your timeline. Difference is probably insignificant.

If you are planning to buy a house soon, here's a great way you can save taxes.

When you usually sell your shares, it attracts taxes. You either pay STCG for less than 1 year or LTCG for 1 year or above. Even if you sell your existing property, you would have to pay taxes on the capital gains.

But, if you have plans to buy a house, use the Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) to save taxes.

How does CGAS work?

Let's say you bought a few shares in 2017 and want to sell them in 2022.
