Money Market
Mutual Fund
A money market mutual fund* is a diversified, short-term
fund that seeks to provide its investors with interest
income, preservation of capital, and maintenance of
liquidity. Three types are offered:
- Money market funds invest in high quality
money market instruments such as certificates
of deposit, bankers acceptances, and commercial
paper.
- Tax-exempt funds invest in short-term securities
exempt from federal tax.
- Treasury/Government funds invest in obligations
issued by the federal government and its agencies,
and in repurchase agreements backed by those
securities
