The banking landscape has changed and, with it, the market for short-term investment. Against such market turmoil, the story on money market funds is essentially positive but the sector has been challenged every step of the way. Our purpose here is to illuminate some of the relevant developments and, by doing so, highlight areas which investors should review carefully as part of their monitoring of events.

The quiet success story
It was surprising not to see more fuss being made of the rise in money fund assets as the assets
managed by members of IMMFA (the Institutional Money Market Funds Association) exceeded $100
billion earlier this year.
This healthy growth in assets is only part of the story since some fund managers, such as Deutsche
Bank and Mellon Bank owned Newton have left the Association. Altogether, funds aimed at corporate
investors are well in excess of this figure, closer to $150 billion according to some industry estimates.
