This study explored one aspect of household financial resilience by analyzing factors related to financial asset liquidity. Given that assets are classified on the balance sheet according to when their economic benefits are expected in time, we extend the asset allocation literature by modeling the allocation of financial assets to cash as a function of intertemporal motivations (i.e., future orientation). A sample of respondents was extracted from De Nederlandsche Bank Household Survey. Fractional logistic regression was used to model the proportion of financial assets held in cash. Consistent with theoretical predictions, future orientation was negatively associated with the proportion of financial assets held in cash. Implications for practice are discussed.
