Reuters reports that, as a result of the ongoing banking crisis and the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes, money market funds have received $756 billion in investments this year, according to a recent BofA investor note.
A money market fund is a mutual fund that aims to generate income by investing in short-term debt of high quality, which includes those provided by the US government. This year, the yields of money market funds have surged significantly as a result of the sharp increase in interest rates.
