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.
