Three Classifications of Money Market Funds:

  • Institutional Prime/Municipal Money Market Funds transact at a floating, market-based NAV (FNAV). This classification is subject to fees and/or gate structures.
  • Government/Treasury Money Market Funds transact at a constant net asset value (CNAV), and the funds must invest at least 99.5% of the fund’s assets in cash, government securities or repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized. This classification is excluded from fee/gate structures.
  • Retail Prime/Municipal Money Market Funds transact at a constant net asset value (CNAV) with the funds having “policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to ‘natural persons.’” This classification is subject to fees and/or gate structures.

How We Do It:

  • Dreyfus draws on the expertise of our seasoned investment professionals who use an interactive, team-based decision-making approach.
  • The portfolio management team, along with a dedicated credit research staff, evaluate credits seeking to maintain portfolio safety, liquidity and consumer confidence while striving to deliver sound results in various market cycles.
  • Investment decisions are derived from current and anticipated market conditions. Securities are then selected that meet Dreyfus’ high credit quality standards.
  • A key tenet of Dreyfus’ risk management hierarchy is a selective and discriminating approach in identifying each element of risk specific to money market mutual funds.
  • Portfolios are structured within the confines of Rule 2a-7.2
