Money Market Funds
A money market fund is a mutual fund that invests in short-term, high-grade fixed-income securities, and seeks the highest level of income consistent with preservation of capital (i.e., maintaining a stable share price). In June 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to proceed with substantial regulatory changes to money market funds, following a set of reforms adopted in 2010. The SEC adopted a final rule in July 2014 that will impose significant structural changes across the industry, particularly on money market funds used by institutional investors.
